I love how client-facing employment law is. Even as a relatively junior person in the team, I regularly meet clients via video conferences and in person.

I generally work in a team, working with more senior lawyers in the group. But I also am very well supported and supervised to take on more responsibility on smaller matters.

Being a part of these types of agreements is a highly rewarding process, especially when a matter concludes after months of negotiation and hard work.

As a clerk, paralegal and then graduate entering the legal market, I was excited to get into work at HSF and frustrated at the many stumbling blocks that would pop up along the way.

With the work, the people, the opportunities and the culture combined, I am confident that I have made the best decision in choosing Baker McKenzie for a clerkship and as the place to establish my legal career.

Learning about and truly understanding a client’s business makes you more than just their lawyer – you become their trusted advisor.

If you make a mistake - acknowledge it, accept responsibility for your error, learn from it and move on. Don’t let the mistake crush your confidence in moving forwards and future decision making.
