Job Description
Make your contribution matter from day one. Start at the world's largest global law firm, where innovation, collaboration and commercial thinking go hand in hand. Over our two-year Trainee Solicitor Programme, you'll work on complex matters spanning jurisdictions, industries and legal disciplines, building the skills and confidence to shape the future of legal services.
From your first day, you'll take on real responsibility, contributing to high-quality client work while developing the legal expertise, commercial judgement and confidence to thrive.
Through four six-month seats, you'll build experience across a range of practice areas, working on complex, cross-border matters for leading global clients alongside colleagues who are experts in their field. Each seat broadens your experience, deepens your sector knowledge and sharpens your understanding of the commercial issues shaping our clients' industries. Structured training, regular feedback and ongoing support run throughout, helping you develop your technical expertise and professional skills.
As the legal profession evolves, you'll also experience the innovative ways we deliver legal services, including the AI and legal technology we use to solve complex client challenges.
We're proud to work closely with our clients. As a trainee, you'll have the opportunity to apply for a client secondment, giving you first-hand insight into client organisations, different sectors and ways of working, while expanding your professional network.
Alongside your legal work, you'll become part of our wider firm community through networking events, social activities, pro bono opportunities and client initiatives. We're committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, and you'll have opportunities to get involved in our inclusion networks and initiatives throughout your training.
If you're an aspiring commercial lawyer looking to make an impact in a global law firm from day one, we can offer you the chance to learn from exceptional people, contribute to work that shapes industries and build a career with real purpose. This is a place where your ambition is supported, your potential is nurtured and what you bring has the opportunity to matter.
We generally look for a strong academic performance but consider every application we receive in context and holistically. We also encourage you to include mitigating circumstances if relevant.
