Types of Roles

  • Lawyer

    We are a dynamic firm and will always consider applications from talented, dynamic and enterprising individuals.

  • Trainee

    We offer trainee lawyers an exceptional opportunity to gain experience in an open and diverse environment with partners and lawyers who are leaders in their fields.

    Trainees will have the opportunity to gain experience in some of the firm’s major practice areas:

    Media; Corporate, Commercial and Finance (including Film and TV, IP, Broadcasting and Tech); Dispute Resolution; Media and Communications Disputes; Employment; and Family.

    Trainees may also be able to gain experience in other departments.

    We usually have one intake of trainees each year commencing in October. Our application window is 1 May to 31 October each year for intakes commencing in two years’ time.

    Opportunities for trainees  will be posted each year (in the Vacancy section below) when the application process begins.

    Please note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, unfortunately we will not be operating our vacation scheme in 2021. Opportunities for the 2022 scheme will be published here towards the end of 2021.

    Our summer vacation scheme takes place each year in June and July. It is an excellent way to get an insight into life as a trainee at the firm.

    The scheme will see each student experience a variety of legal work across two weeks. Each student will sit in at least one of our core practice groups (Dispute Resolution; Media; and Corporate, Commercial & Finance) and personal preferences will be catered for where possible.

    Please note that placements with the Death Penalty Project are not part of the vacation scheme.

    Applications open on 1 December and close on 15 March each year. During that timeframe, please see below for details on eligibility and how to apply.
