Participants on the scheme will benefit from the invaluable opportunity of receiving mentoring from both in-house and private practice lawyers from HSBC and Baker McKenzie, through one-to-one sessions covering a range of topics including commercial awareness, dispute resolution, personal branding, presentation skills and the relationship between lawyers at private practice law firms and in house organisations.
