The Opportunity
We want our trainees develop into the Herbert Smith Freehills partners of the future. Our Practical Vocational Training Programme is designed to equip trainees with the best opportunities to hone the technical skills necessary to excel in their legal careers.
Additionally, through our Business Skills Academy, we equip our trainees with the business acumen, skills, and mindset required to handle significant matters and deals with our global clientele.
