CHW: Developing legal talent

If you’re reaching the end of your law studies, it’s time to think about a pupillage at CHW and in the Private Clients Team under the guidance of their pupil mentors over the course of 12 months. During this period pupils will work alongside directors, senior associates, and associates on a variety of legal matters, attend client meetings and hearings, draft various correspondence for clients and other counsel and assist in the drafting and preparation of various legal documents.

After the first year, the pupil will be called to the Bermuda Bar and become an Associate. In year two, the newly called associate will be offered their choice of 2 seats in which they will spend 6 months under the supervision of a senior attorney.
