You have already decided to forge a career as a successful commercial lawyer. You are attracted by the prospect of becoming part of a global firm and working on large, complex assignments for some of the world’s leading organisations. But where do you start? How do you confirm that this is the right career for you and that you have what it takes? The answer is simple: try it.
Ours is a diverse global business where ambitious and committed individuals like you are encouraged to develop and are supported both personally and professionally. Our vacation schemes expose you to real work and responsibility, and introduce you to our culture.
We run an 8-week scheme during April and May which is open to Common Law and Thai Law undergraduates. You will sit with an associate who will be responsible for allocating work to you. As far as possible we will try to accommodate any personal preferences as to the practice areas you wish to spend time in. At the end of the scheme, you’ll have an appraisal with your principal in line with our firm-wide appraisal process, and we’ll give you honest feedback on your performance and the likelihood of you gaining a graduate position with us.
What qualities will you need to bring us? Plenty of potential – certainly. An ambitious and energetic outlook – definitely.
