The Firm
Jones Day operates as one firm world-wide
with 2,400 lawyers in 32 offices. Jones Day
in London is a key part of this international
partnership and has around 200 lawyers,
including around 50 partners and 30 to 40 trainees.
This means we can offer our lawyers the
perfect combination - the intimacy and
atmosphere of a medium sized City firm with
access to both UK and multi-national clients.
Types of Work
Principal areas of practice at Jones Day
include: corporate finance and M&A
transactions; investment funds, private equity
and corporate tax planning, banking, capital
markets and structured finance, business
restructuring, litigation, intellectual property
tax and real estate. The London office also has
teams of lawyers who are experienced in such
areas as competition/antitrust, environmental,
and employment and pensions law.
Who should apply
Candidates should have obtained or be
predicted a 2:1 degree in any discipline. We
look for candidates with either a law or nonlaw
degree, who have strong intellectual and
analytical ability, good communication skills
and who can demonstrate resourcefulness,
drive, dedication and the ability to be a team
player.
Training programme
The firm operates a unique, non-rotational
system of training which is designed to provide
freedom, flexibility and responsibility from
the start. Our trainees work across different
practice areas concurrently and are encouraged
to assume their own workload, which allows
for early responsibility, faster development of
potential and the opportunity to compare and
contrast different disciplines alongside one
another. Because our trainees do not move
to a different department every six months
they don't miss the end of deals or trials that
they have worked on. Work will vary from
small cases which trainees may handle alone
(under the supervision of a senior lawyer) to
matters where they will assist a partner or an
associate solicitor. The firm runs a structured
training programme with a regular schedule
of seminars to support the thorough practical
training and regular feedback that trainees
receive from the associates and partners that
they work with.
