The firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner is a market leader formed by one of the biggest transatlantic mergers in recent times, we now have over 1,400 lawyers in 32 offices around the globe, who together provide big-name clients – including 40% of the Fortune 500 – with clear, connected legal advice. Join us as a trainee and you’ll be at the heart of it all, with partners behind you and technology allowing you to focus on more exciting work. Types of work The firm is structured into four large departments: real estate, corporate, finance, and litigation and corporate risk. Trainees work on challenging projects from the outset and are given a high level of responsibility. A handful of our internationally renowned clients are names such as Nike, Goldman Sachs, Heathrow, EDF, BT, Deutsche Bank, Tesco and eBay to name a few. Who should apply We welcome applications from various, diverse backgrounds; whether you are a non-law student, graduate or career changer, we would love to hear from you. Training programme At BCLP we are fully committed to providing continual, high-quality training and support to our trainee cohort. We offer four seat rotations of six months, with flexible seat choices across all core departments and a wide range of practice areas in the business. Each trainee receives regular 1:1 support from the graduate recruitment team and the training principal, a partner mentor to provide wider career guidance and a designated supervisor within each department. Trainees have access to individual coaching and training from the learning and development team, as well as quarterly ‘Lunch and Learn’ updates. We aim to continuously improve our trainee experience and accordingly run a trainee discussion forum with representatives from each trainee intake to facilitate active information sharing between management and trainees. We also have an active trainee social committee to organise regular opportunities for trainees to get together outside of the office. When and how to apply The firm is aiming to recruit 40 trainees in the UK and Asia to commence their training contracts in either September 2022 or March 2023. Applicants can apply through our online application form, which can be found on our website alongside full eligibility information and details of each stage of the recruitment process. Work placements We offer one insight scheme in the spring and three summer vacation schemes. We aim to keep our schemes very interactive. We want to make you feel like you are a trainee throughout your time at the firm and the work you do will often make a real impact and be presented to our clients. During our summer vacation schemes you can also expect to attend case study workshops, complete a pro bono project for Reprieve, hear from our innovation team and take part in a mock pitch with a real client. It is not all hard work and no play, we want you to experience our culture first hand through our speed networking lunches and social events that take place during the two weeks. Sponsorship We sponsor your Legal Practice Course (LPC) and Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), as well as providing a maintenance grant for each course.
