HSM’s 2023 Summer Internship Programme is Underway
The HSM Group is delighted to once again offer their summer internship programme and has welcomed seven students from the Cayman Islands Further Education Centre (CIFEC).
Nathaniel Scott, Jenae Whittaker, Janely Reeves, Phyllis Brown, Jamila Andrade, Kayleigh Bush and Courtney Reid have joined the HSM team for the summer. As a full-service law firm in the Cayman Islands, HSM provides interns with a variety of experiences including Corporate Services, Debt Collection, Compliance, Intellectual Property and more.
HSM’s 2023 summer internship programme takes place July through August and falls shortly after an 8-month long work experience stint with the CIFEC internship programme.
“We feel privileged to be a part of their career journey,” shares HSM Managing Partner, Huw Moses OBE. “HSM’s summer internship programme challenges the students to harness what they have learned over the past several months and make meaningful contributions to the firm. They are treated like coworkers, not interns”.
HSM is an avid supporter of the CIFEC programme and will be participating at CIFEC’s annual career fair in September. HSM has supported the CIFEC programme since they opened their doors in 2012 and employs four CIFEC graduates full-time.
