“When I was applying for clerkships, the word on the grapevine was that Herbert Smith Freehills was a great firm at the top of its field, but in terms of culture, it was very serious. I began my clerkship with the expectation that that would be the case. My experience with the firm could not have been more different. From day one, I found everyone at the firm to be warm, welcoming and friendly. Of course, it is true that everyone takes their work seriously, but that is not at the expense of having a laugh and making the time for one another. I was particularly surprised by the amount of time that solicitors, senior associates and partners invest in junior team members.”
