Company Description

We are a leader among international law firms, providing business advice of the highest quality throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the US.

With over 2,700 lawyers in 27 key business centres around the world, we provide a comprehensive service to national and multinational corporations, financial institutions and governments.
 
Our trainee solicitors receive a thorough professional training in a very broad range of practice areas, an excellent personal development programme and the chance to work in one of our international offices or on secondment with a client in the UK or abroad.  You'll be working with and learning from one of the most talented peer groups in the legal world, and you'll get the blend of support and freedom you need to evolve your career and take advantage of the opportunities our international network offers.

Your training contract will be unique to you.  Flexibility is one of the hallmarks of our training programme and one of the features which most differentiates our training contract from others.

As a firm we believe in making sure everyone counts, and organise ourselves accordingly.  We believe that lawyers are better at handling the intense pace and pressure of work if they are part of a supportive team.  We have a friendly and relaxed atmosphere which comes from having a diverse range of individuals who share a strong set of common values.

We also recognise the importance of ensuring that people are able to keep their lives in balance, and therefore encourage a range of sporting, cultural and social activities, as well as participation in our award-winning corporate social responsibility programme.
