Internship
At Herbert Smith Freehills, we make your personal and professional growth our business. And as
part of the team, your ambition is yours too. Ultimately, a career with us is about embracing all
you are and all you can be. Our firm will change with you and be changed by you, so we can
achieve our ambitions together.
The Financial Services Regulatory Virtual Experience gives you the opportunity to work on some
of the technical problems that we tackle on a daily basis. You’ll learn about financial regulatory
issues across various jurisdictions, what you need to do to notify regulators, how to prepare
your client in the face of regulatory intervention, and how lawyers and clients work together to
commercially approach the market when financial regulatory issues arise.
The modules contain tasks that are challenging and accurately represent the type of work
undertaken by the Financial Services Regulatory Group. In real life, you would have the chance
to discuss any issues with your supervisor and colleagues, so you wouldn't have to tackle the
tasks alone.
We also appreciate you have different levels of experience and knowledge and that some of
you will not have studied law – that’s not a problem; all of the tasks (whether involving legal
issues or not) can be tackled by applying general analysis and critical thinking skills.
If this sounds interesting to you, come and participate in our Virtual Experience programme:
we’d love to hear from you.
Our virtual internships are a chance to develop legal skills and knowledge from the comfort of
your home. Created in partnership with Forage, this multi-module course spans key areas of law
and offers insight into the kind of work you might take on at HSF. We recommend setting 7-9
hours aside to complete each module.
Your Growth. Our Ambition.
