HERBERT SMITH FREEHILLS

After studying Philosophy and Literature at university, I wasn’t sure what my next step would be. I had considered following a career in law, banking or management consultancy amongst other things but, after attending a Herbert Smith Freehills presentation, my decision was made. I liked the people I met, I liked the sound of the work and, even though I come from a more conceptual background academically than most of my colleagues, it related well to what I had studied. From Tolstoy’s ‘War and Peace’, to Plato’s ‘Republic’, to ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, the concepts I covered and the skills I developed transferred well and allowed me to approach our work from a different perspective.
