Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

I completed legal research, filled in board minutes, conducted due diligence, and sat in on calls with clients.
I also attended presentations about everything the firm has to offer, and learned about what it is like to train with and work at HSF.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

It was very informative and the firm more than met my expectations in terms of the work I did and the general culture.
