Overview
Partners introduced us to recent corporate and disputes case studies. Participated in a corporate negotiations workshop where I worked on the seller’s side. Attended a practice area fair a trainee Q&A panel. I shadowed a corporate trainee and reviewed a IP Pro Bono contract. Had an applications advice session where the Graduate Recruitment Team gave us a better insight into the vacation scheme application process and advice.
Skills
I have developed better legal analysis skills especially from reviewing the legal contract and presenting my findings to a senior associate actually on the case.
Business Insight
The recent corporate and disputes case studies, trainee Q&A panel and practice area fairs were all very useful to gains better insight into the potential roles available at HSF.
