As the academic year opens, Adv. Ran Feldman, a partner at S. Horowitz who leads the firm’s intern recruitment and management, spoke to Bizportal in a series featuring senior figures at Israel’s leading law firms. He explains why a candidate’s school does not decide an internship offer, why one year of internship is enough under a model of personal mentoring and close guidance, and why raising the Bar exam passing grade may not be the way to ensure quality. He also addresses the growing number of lawyers and market competition.
