WHAT MAKES SKADDEN UNIQUE? IT CAN BE HARD TO DECIDE WHERE TO TRAIN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS STRONG LAW FIRMS IN LONDON, FROM SMALL BOUTIQUES TO GLOBAL FULL-SERVICE FIRMS, MANY OF WHICH PROMOTE THEMSELVES IN SIMILAR WAYS. WHAT MAKES SKADDEN DIFFERENT?
We’re one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the world. With more than 1,700 lawyers across 21 offices, we pride ourselves on delivering solutions to the world’s most complex and high-value cases and transactions. Despite our size, we operate as tight-knit teams on work of all kinds, with our associates and trainees sitting at the centre of their matters and not on the fringes, meaning no day here is routine. Though the work can be challenging, it also is rewarding, with closer access to senior colleagues and a more personalised training experience than other large firms can provide. We believe this offers our attorneys a superior development experience, and it is deeply important to us that those opportunities begin from the moment Skadden trainees walk through the door. We are unique, and we recognise that you are, too. Our diverse culture means we have no “type” here. Skadden began as a scrappy upstart, competing
with the older “white shoe” firms in New York, and we continue to cherish that outsider culture even as we have grown to our current size. Diversity, equity and inclusion have been core Skadden values since the founding of our firm. The shared passion for these principles makes this a special place to work. You’ll find an eclectic mix of lawyers at Skadden, but all of us share a common thread that binds us as a team: a desire to innovate, excel and deliver extraordinary client service. A training contract at Skadden provides you with an opportunity to carve your own career path. Our platform — an international firm with unrivalled experience in our practice areas — will serve as a springboard for your professional life. During your training contract, our attorneys and structured training programme will be there to help you every step of the way. Take a closer look at our recruiting and training materials to see for yourself what makes us stand out from the crowd.
