The working day

Early hours. Real files.

What it is like here

Close to the argument.

You will work on live disputes, with people who expect care, curiosity and a point of view.

The hours begin early because the day is designed around focused learning. You will see how a case is built, not only the finished result.

Pupillage

Not a ladder.

Pupillage is not applied for directly. Any route can lead to it if you stand out.

After you apply

Every applicant gets a written answer within seven days.
