I thoroughly enjoyed my summer working as a law student at HHS! I worked on a wide range of files from drafting wills, trust deeds, and shareholders agreement amendments to researching new developments in employment law and competition law. I worked closely with multiple lawyers, which meant I was receiving continual feedback and ongoing exposure to exciting new matters. My responsibilities also included frequent interactions with clients and participation in client meetings. My impression is that my contributions mattered. The firm also has a strong culture that fosters teamwork and a positive environment. Everyone is willing to talk about anything from a file or project they are working on, to weekend plans. HHS organizes monthly socials and team events, which allowed me the opportunity to get to know everyone outside of the office on a personal level. Overall, HHS made sure that I felt valued and supported over the last 4 months. I had wonderful experiences during my summer with HHS, and I am very excited to be returning as an articling student next year!
