10 Interns Join HSM’s 2025-26 Internship Programme
The HSM Group is proud to announce the launch of its 2025/26 internship programme in collaboration with the Cayman Islands Further Education Centre (CIFEC).
HSM recently welcomed 10 ambitious interns to its team: Mia-Ariel Torres Gordon, Dimitri Seymour, Jureimi Monotero, Tianna McKenzie, Sonia Kimball, Allison Coe, Maria F. De La Cruz Ramirez, Shenae Peters, Alica Allen and Diego McLaughlin.
HSM is a full-service law firm and corporate services provider, which offers students the ability to gain experiences across a wide-range of practices including immigration, debt collection, intellectual property, corporate services and even areas outside of law, such as finance and marketing.
The selection process began at the CIFEC Careers Fair held on 19 September 2025. HSM participated with a booth where students were able to engage with the team, learn about the firm’s work, and submit formal applications.
As part of the CIFEC curriculum, the internship runs from October 2025 until April 2026 and each student attends work twice a week during school hours. When the programme ends, there may be opportunities for some students to gain a summer work placement or full-time employment at HSM.
HSM Managing Partner, Huw Moses OBE shares: “Our internship programme continues to be a rewarding experience for both our team and the students. It is a privilege to help shape the future of young professionals and set the foundation for their careers.”
