We focus on giving our new lawyers one-to-one attention, support and the opportunities you need to succeed in the legal world. Although we are one of the world's largest full-service law firms, our offices are made up of tightly knit teams with cultures that are open and inclusive. That means you get the best of both worlds. Because we are a large and growing firm, you'll find expanding opportunities to serve clients locally and internationally. And you'll find colleagues who are ambitious and hard-working but who also believe in having lives outside work. Our lawyers say the culture is one of the best things about working here.
