What We Offer

We think it’s crucial to nurture talent that comes from backgrounds as unique and wide-ranging as our business itself. Our growth relies upon attracting and promoting excellent individuals from around the world, which is why you’ll find an open, collaborative, and respectful culture at each of our locations. Being open-minded and treating everyone with respect and dignity is essential to the work that we do as a global law firm.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Our lawyers are smart, collaborative and easy to work with. It’s our people’s talent, enthusiasm and ambition that enables us to offer our clients world-class legal advice, resolve disputes and make headlines across the world. And it all starts with teamwork.

We foster a unified culture, which is seamlessly integrated across all practices and regions. Our employee pool is wide and is representative of our global firm, varying in experiences and backgrounds - but ultimately, it is our mission to recruit, develop and promote the highest caliber lawyers who can provide our clients with outstanding legal services. 

What We Offer

Mentoring

We provide multiple avenues for lawyers seeking opportunities to discuss their career development plan such as with practice leaders, supervising lawyers and mentors and through coaching programs. One useful tool is the Career Development Plan. This plan is intended to help associates focus on where they are now and where they want to be in the future. 

Being mentored is an important part of a lawyer’s career development. First year associates and laterals are assigned to a mentor whey they start at the firm, and all lawyers have the opportunity to participate in our mentoring platform, CONNECTIVITY.

What We Offer

Working here will give you a balance between local and global work. All students are given challenging work, high levels of responsibility, substantial case management and client contact from an early stage.
