HSM Welcomes Four Interns to 2025 Summer Internship Programme
The HSM Group is proud to continue its summer internship programme with four young professionals: Jayden Nembhard, Shannell Stewart, Azaria Ruiz‑Bodden and Ahmoya Morrison.
These individuals were a part of the 2024-25 CIFEC internship curriculum, which began in October 2024 through April 2025. Each student attended work twice a week during school hours and was carefully paired with a lawyer or expert at HSM.
HSM’s Summer Internship Programme began on 1 July 2025 and runs through the end of August 2025.
HSM Managing Partner, Huw Moses OBE shares: “Through our summer internship programme, these individuals will engage in meaningful legal work, strengthen their practical skills and gain greater exposure to the industry.”
HSM’s interns have commented on their time so far:
“Every step in my journey working at HSM has been a lesson in growth and I cannot wait to learn more during this summer internship, learning the worlds of finance, marketing, and intellectual property. I am reminded that success is rooted in perseverance, curiosity, and the continuous pursuit of knowledge.” – Jayden
“Working with the professionals at HSM has solidified my desire to enter the legal field. The most rewarding aspect was gaining a comprehensive understanding of various legal processes. The team is incredibly supportive, making me feel included throughout my experience. For future interns, my advice is to be punctual, open to feedback, and embrace learning.” – Shannell
“I always knew I wanted to work in the legal field, whether in corporate or criminal law, and my internship at HSM was the perfect way to get started. I not only sharpened my existing skills but also learned new talents to apply in the working world. Working with some of the best attorneys and paralegals in Cayman made me eager to learn something new every day. To any intern who is interested in working here all I can say is good luck and be kind to yourself, you do not have to be perfect.” – Azaria
“When I first joined HSM, I was unsure about my career goals, considering criminal law. However, working at HSM has enlightened me and shaped a new path. The support from everyone at HSM made my integration into the office culture seamless. My advice to future interns is to stay relaxed, bring a positive mindset and enjoy the experience.” – Ahmoya
The HSM Group is a full-service law firm and corporate services provider, which offers interns the ability to gain experiences across a wide range of practices including property, family, debt collection, intellectual property, corporate services and even areas outside of law, such as marketing and finance.
HSM has supported the CIFEC Internship Programme since 2012 and also offers sponsorship opportunities for further education. HSM employs several CIFEC graduates full-time.
