HSM Onboards 10 Students to 2024-25 Internship Programme
The HSM Group is proud to once again offer a legal internship for the 2024/25 academic year in partnership with the Cayman Islands Further Education Centre (CIFEC).
The team at HSM has welcomed 10 interns: Ahmoya Morrison, Nashla Evans McCoy, Shannell Pinnace Stewart, Alrick Peddie Jr, Rhynnia Rattary, Malachi Green, Samiya Wood, Jayden Nembhard, Azaria Ruiz-Bodden and Claudia Garcia Guerrero.
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.
These students were interviewed at the CIFEC Careers Fair on 4 October 2024. HSM participated at this fair with a booth, which gave students an opportunity to learn about HSM as well as make a formal application.
As part of the CIFEC curriculum, the internship runs from October 2024 until April 2025 and each student attends work twice a week during school hours. When the programme ends, there may be opportunities for some students to attain a summer work placement or full-time employment at HSM.
HSM Managing Partner, Huw Moses OBE shares: “Our internship programme has been enjoyable and incredibly successful over the years, offering young professionals the chance to learn, contribute and set the foundation for their careers.”
HSM has supported the CIFEC Internship Programme since 2012 and also offers sponsorship opportunities for further education. HSM employs several CIFEC graduates full-time.
