About You
The graduate recruitment team were very professional and friendly, which allowed us to gain a better insight into HSF's workplace environment and culture.
HSF has a very collegiate culture, and by allowing us to participate in various negotiation challenges among ourselves, as well as giving us ample opportunity to mingle with trainees and lawyers, I felt that the graduate recruitment team indeed made me feel valued.
The team managed to answer whatever questions we had and gave us lots of insight into the firm.
By attending this insight programme, it broadened my perspective as to how the workplace environment is in law firms, and it will definitely benefit me when I apply for vacation schemes or even training contracts.
The Company
The 2 day programme was very well structured.
The atmosphere during the programme was very inclusive, and made everyone feel comfortable while at the same time learning more about the firm and how to apply to the firm in the future.
