Overview
A variety of employees at HSF (including both trainees, senior associates, and partners) discussed their career at the firm. Workshops (including both ADR and technical skills) also took place, along with a social event of chocolate making.
Skills
I have a greater understanding of what a day at HSF in a variety of practice areas could look like, and also understand the process of ADR much better.
Business Insight
HSF provided both a virtual networking session and a virtual careers fair on Hopin, allowing us to go between "rooms" to discuss what a career at HSF could look like. The employees were all very open and approachable, and spoke fondly of the culture in the workplace.
Culture
Employees spoke very highly of their colleagues, emphasising that they felt that the culture was what distinguished HSF from other top firms.
Your Impressions
I very much enjoyed the insight, and have learned a lot during the two days about the firm and the legal sector.
Yes
Research the firm and ensure that your values and priorities align with HSF's, and consider what you want from a career and how HSF can help you achieve this; the firm appears to value genuine interest in working with them above all.
