Internship

"The Program has offered me a sneak peek into the high quality of matters and powerful sense of collaboration between teams – within and outside Australia, which the firm offers. It has also strengthened my interest in commercial legal problem-solving, and my desire to work in such global and intellectually driven environment after my graduation." 

"The daily meetings with the partners and graduates were quite satisfying, which can help me establish early connections in the industry and is what I did not experience in my previous internships." 

“Throughout my two weeks, I gained foundational legal skills, including memorandum drafting, and sharpened my understanding of the global operation of law,” he said. “The strong connection between emerging markets in Asia and the developed market of Australia was originally one of the reasons that brought me to UNSW. This program offered me much deeper insights into what is happening at the frontline of the legal market and what global-minded UNSW law students can do to play a part in this dynamic industry.” 

“It was really eye-opening to know how lawyers prepare documents for transactions involving parties from multiple jurisdictions. It was also fascinating to investigate how the different offices of Herbert Smith Freehills work together and how the lawyers interact with the clients and other intermediaries during certain M&A due diligence.”
