Virtual Open Weeks 10

Following the success of the initial PH Group Virtual Open Week held during the Covid-19 pan-
demic in 2021, the PH Group Virtual Open Week has become a standing item on the recruitment
calendar of law school students across South Africa.

With 26 member firms participating in 2022 and 34 member firms in 2023 and nearly 4000 grad-
uates attending more than 60 sessions, the PH Group Virtual Open Weeks held in 2022 and
2023 have been immensely successful in creating awareness of the employment opportunities
at member firms within the PH Group. Through the online open week sessions held, attendees
were provided with vital information about member firms and the benefits available to candidate
legal practitioners within the PH Group, such as access to the state-of-the-art Knowledge Cen-
tre, Professional Development Webinar Series, Young Lawyers Group, Members Portal, Bursary
Programme and more.

The impact and success of these weeks are validated by the receipt of nearly 13,000 applications
for articles at member firms through the PH Group Careers Portal at www.phfirms.co.za in 2022
and 2023 respectively, providing member firms access to diverse applications and graduates
from across South Africa.
