Legal careers

We believe that nothing outstanding comes from standing alone and so we are always looking for ambitious, motivated and commercial lawyers to join our specialist legal teams who can deliver the excellent service our clients expect of us.

In return, we provide exciting career opportunities for our colleagues that are progressive, inclusive, supportive and rewarding. We have opportunities for qualified lawyers throughout the year for most of our practice areas.

We place importance on our collective sense of identity and demonstrating our values, which inform everything that we do. We want all of our colleagues to contribute to the wider firm through initiatives including our colleague networks, training, mentoring, business development and volunteering, and the other things which we value, and which speak to our values. We believe setting 1200 chargeable hours target FTE allows colleagues to contribute widely to the firm and provide a work life balance which gives time for hobbies and commitments outside of work. The way we work allows you to enjoy a balance of home and office working.

Client secondments locally and internationally enable colleagues to build closer client relationships and provide valuable insight and experience.

I was quickly made to feel very welcome. Colleagues are approachable, supportive and good fun to work with.

What can I expect from the legal recruitment process?

Recruitment for paralegals and qualified lawyers usually involves two interviews with the recruiting partner and another senior member of the team. Our interviews aim to give you the opportunity to find out more about the role you are applying for, the team and the wider firm, as well as an opportunity for us to find out about you. Our interviews are relaxed in style and conversational as we believe this will allow you to perform to the best of your ability.
