Careers

In this section

We rely on teams of secretaries, administrators and assistants - based both in our legal practice areas and in our support functions - to ensure that our business runs smoothly.

We offer a broad range of roles - some of which are fully client-facing, such as our legal secretaries, others of which are more "back-office" roles.

We work in a business environment where our clients, often multi-national businesses whose activities are recorded in the national and international business and legal press, expect the best service. So, it is vital to us that everyone - whatever their role - works together as a team to provide a great service. This is at the heart of what we do.

Because we value everyone's contribution, you'll find that you are relied on as an important member of whichever team you are part of. Your opinion counts, and there will be opportunities to get involved in helping shape the way you work.

Global network

This is an international firm. Whichever office you are based in, you will feel part of our global network. Our culture is very much team-based, so you will be part of a practice or support function team. But, you will often find yourself talking to clients or colleagues in other offices.

If you have language skills, there may be opportunities to use these - especially in our European offices, where most of our "front line" people need to be at least bi-lingual.

Our ethos is to work together to get results, so the environment needs to be supportive. As Stuart Popham, Senior Partner, comments "Our vision is to be the world's leading law firm. Our people work together to make that a reality."

Prestigious offices

We are a successful international firm. You'll find that we offer excellent working conditions and that our offices are often strategically located in close proximity to our investment banking and business clients.

A sense of community

As a firm, we believe we have a responsibility to put something back into the communities where we are based. We look to make a positive impact through our community, environment and arts programmes. There are opportunities to get involved for everyone across the firm, whatever their role.
