68 Fort
Street, Grand Cayman (Wednesday, 15 January 2020): The
HSM Group is proud to once again offer a legal internship for the
2019/20 academic year in partnership with the Cayman
Islands Further Education Centre
(CIFEC).

Eleven
interns have been recruited from the CIFEC Career Fair that was held
in September 2019. The team at HSM has welcomed: Joshua Bent, Nahomy
Bonilla-Zelaya, Derique Powery, Sheyla Scott, Rickhams Zuniga,
Aaliyah Morris, Toshonna Kelly, Zara Hydes, Chrissy Stewart-Brown,
Nyanza Henry and Amaya Jackson.

Since
HSM is a full-service law firm, these students are able to gain
experiences across a wide-range of practices including immigration,
debt collection, intellectual property and even areas outside of law,
such as finance.

Natasha
Whitelocke
coordinates the CIFEC Internship Programme on behalf of HSM and is
also the Head IP Paralegal. Whitelocke along with HSM’s Managing
Partner, Huw Moses, carefully select and pair an intern with a lawyer
or expert at HSM. These personnel will monitor the student’s work
and mentor their professionalism.

As part
of the CIFEC curriculum, the internship runs until April 2019 and
each student attends work twice a week during school hours. When the
programme ends, HSM offers a select amount of summer jobs that will
provide some students a deeper look into the working world. HSM
currently employs six CIFEC graduates fulltime.

“We
remain committed and passionate about developing Cayman’s next
generation of professionals,” shares HSM Managing Partner, Huw
Moses
OBE. “Whether they become lawyers or not, our team will also teach
them the basic skills needed to excel in any industry they choose.”

HSM has
worked with the CIFEC progamme since the firm’s inception in 2012.
