As such, the work we carry out is both interesting and challenging. We are committed to being a responsible business.

Training programme Our trainees have genuine responsibility and experience of dealing with clients – and are made to feel part of the team from day one. As a trainee you will have the chance to spend six months in four of the key business areas we specialise in, namely M&A and other corporate work, insolvency and banking/finance, commercial, private wealth and family, real estate, IP, dispute resolution and employment, pensions and immigration. There may also be an opportunity for trainees to undertake a client secondment. We are dedicated to encouraging continuous professional development, delivered in a variety of ways to give our trainees the best chance to become rounded, assured and respected professionals. Training in technical and business skills and early exposure to stimulating work with a variety of clients is instrumental in providing a solid foundation. Our unique combination of factors – supervision when you need it, support from colleagues and the opportunity to embrace early responsibility as soon as you are ready – creates a compelling proposition at the outset of your career.
