We’re looking for exceptional students.

Students who want to begin their legal career in an exciting global environment. We are interested in ambitious and highly motivated candidates with a first-class academic record. We value teamwork highly, so we also ask for proof that you can get on with a huge range of colleagues and clients.

You must be naturally curious and relish a challenge. The ability to think clearly and make sense of complicated problems is a must. Organization, flexibility and commercial sense are essential.

The pace of work here is tough, so we’re looking for people with the discipline, determination, and drive to succeed. We need evidence that you can multitask, that you can keep track and that you don’t lose your cool.

Potential and diversity are foremost in our minds when assessing new graduates. We’re interested in the person behind the list of achievements.
