CMS is the leading organisation of European
law firms, which includes CMS Cameron
McKenna.
We advise on a wide range of transactions
and issues, and have developed many longterm
relationships throughout the business
world, meaning that our clients benefit from
working with teams that really understand
their issues and concerns. To ensure this
we've launched one of the legal sector's most
comprehensive client feedback programmes
to measure just how focused we are. This
approach helps us get an honest opinion on
our performance and has been recognised in a
number of prestigious awards including Client
Relationship Management Development of
the Year 2007.
Acting on this feedback we have adopted a
Sector approach to provide clients with an
industry-specific service and deep sector
expertise. Working alongside our traditional
Practice Group structure, Sector Groups
enable us to build teams taking an industry,
rather than a purely legal, perspective -
something that we know our clients value
highly. We believe it enables us to offer
more proactive and tailored advice. Our
Sector Groups are: Consumer Products;
Energy & Utilities; Financial Institutions &
Services; Hotels & Leisure; Infrastructure &
Project Finance; Lifesciences; Real Estate &
Construction; and Technology; and Media &
Telecoms (TMT).
Types of Work
Our clients benefit from an extensive range of
services which can be grouped broadly into six
Practice Groups: Banking and International
Finance; Commercial; Corporate; Energy,
Projects and Construction; Insurance and
Reinsurance; and Real Estate.
Training Programme
Training contracts last for two years. During
this time you will have four six-month seats.
You will be awarded a priority seat when you
start you training contract and will undertake
a compulsory seat in either banking or
corporate, and a contentious seat.
Additionally it is expected that graduates who
join the firm will spend one seat outside of
our London offices. This may include time
in the UK at other regional offices such as
Aberdeen, Bristol or Edinburgh or on a UKbased
client secondment. Outside of the
UK, we have numerous opportunities to be
seconded to one of our leading Central and
Eastern European offices including Bulgaria,
the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland,
Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. A course of
language lessons before and during your stay
abroad, plus help with relocation, will ensure
the transition is as smooth as possible during
these six months.
Vacation Schemes
We offer undergraduates the opportunity to
spend two weeks at CMS Cameron McKenna
in London to find out more about our firm.
The scheme allows you to spend a week in
two different practice areas, and undertake
various presentations, workshops and social
events.
Our vacation schemes run over Christmas,
Easter and summer, and are open to anyone
interested in pursuing a legal career. We
also run schemes at our Bristol and Scottish
offices so please refer to the website for
further details.
Who should apply
The firm welcomes applications from
all backgrounds. Applicants must have
320 UCAS points (or equivalent) and be
expected to achieve a 2:1 degree or above (or
equivalent). |
