"During my time at university in Australia, I was attracted to the idea of starting my legal career with an international firm. A training contract with Herbert Smith has proved to be an ideal way of achieving this.
 
Since joining the firm, I have completed one seat in litigation and started another in corporate. I have been given the opportunity to work on a wide range of matters. I have found the people at Herbert Smith to be approachable, keen to involve me in whatever they were working on, and willing to give me substantial responsibility.

I have also had the opportunity to work on a number of pro bono matters through the Whitechapel Legal Advice Centre, which has proved to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my training contract.
 
For Australian law students who are interested in practicing abroad, I would recommend a training contract at Herbert Smith as a great way of doing so."
