Overview
It ranged from interactive sessions such as a negotiation task and practice area networking sessions to other chances to gaining in-depth understanding to the work done at HSF. This includes several inside the headlines of the form of high-profile litigation and corporate deals they did.
Skills
I developed various skills on the day such as communication and critical thinking during the corporate negotiation task where new key words such as indemnity were taught. Also I understand more about the niche form of skills that lawyers need such as commercial awareness and the various ways to achieve this.
Business Insight
It was definitely interesting because coming from a working class background these are areas that I wouldn’t normally be accustomed to knowing . Hearing and networking with people across the firms practice areas with different journeys to HSF was also extremely insightful.
Culture
It was good and it was nice seeing a mixture of individuals not just across the U.K. but also internationally.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed different parts of the sessions with the interactive sessions generally being the more interesting. However the talk on pro-bono and the shadowing session was definitely a highlight.
Yes
To really research the form and truly take this amazing opportunity in fully.
