TRAINING CONTRACT

“We believe there is no such thing as a typical trainee task. Once you build trust with your colleagues, the responsibility can quickly reach associate level. The opportunities here are unlimited ” “The level of responsibility is high , and I’m treated more like a junior associate than a trainee”

Which departments will I be a part of?

You will rotate in four seats for a duration of six months each, two of which will be Corporate and Finance. Towards the end of each seat, you will submit your preferences for your next seat. The Graduate Recruitment and Development Team will ensure you’re exposed to a broad range of practice areas and that you work on projects that interest you.
