Lovells is an international legal practice
comprising Lovells LLP and its affiliated
businesses with offices in the major financial
and commercial centres across Europe, Asia,
the Middle East and the United States, and
are headquartered in the City of London.
The range of work at Lovells is very broad. It
is one of our strengths as a business and a
long standing attraction for candidates. Our
international strength across a wide range of
practice areas gives us an exceptional
reputation not only for corporate
transactional work, but also for other
specialist areas including dispute resolution,
banking, intellectual property, employment,
EU/competition, insurance and commercial.
Trainee Profile
Our reputation means we attract the brightest
and most able graduates, but we are looking
for more than very strong academic
qualifications. We expect and encourage
ambition, drive and imagination. We are
seeking the next generation of Lovells
lawyers and future partners – rather than just
looking for the next intake of trainees to join
us for two years.
Applicants to Lovells need the right
personality as well as the right qualifications.
You will be happy working in a team yet
capable of, and used to, independent action.
You will demonstrate ability and desire for
lateral thinking and be capable of close
attention to detail. Above all, you will have a
single-minded ambition to succeed in a top
law firm.
As a consequence of the high profile work we
do we expect applicants to have achieved
excellent academic results from GCSE
onwards. A 2.1 is the minimum standard of
degree applicants should hold or be expecting
to achieve.
Training & Development
Your training contract with Lovells is divided
into four six month seats. One of these seats
may be spent on secondment either to one of
our international offices or alternatively to
the in-house legal team of one of the firm's
major clients.Whatever your ambitions, there
is a great deal of choice and you will be able
to discuss and review your options regularly.
Formal training is provided throughout your
training contract: each practice area has its
own training programme and you will have
completed a series of programmes by the
time you qualify. Training courses are given
by a combination of external trainers and the
firm's own lawyers, and have been adapted
for or developed by the firm. Throughout
your training contract we will work closely
with you to advise and provide feedback on
your progress. This involves formal and
informal assessments as well as advice
on practice areas, secondments and
qualification. Our task is much more than
merely recruiting– it means ensuring that
your ambitions are met by the firm.
Vacation Placements
Students gravitating towards law have the
opportunity, through our vacation placement
scheme, to gain exposure to life and work in
a City law firm. We offer up to 90 vacation
places over four highly regarded schemes:
You will gain a broad insight into the work of
the firm, your time being split between two or
three of our major sectors (corporate and
financial, commercial, dispute resolution and
real estate). We have structured the
programme to ensure you will get involved in
real work with real clients in much the same
way as our trainees. To complement this
there is also a comprehensive programme of
lunchtime talks, workshops and social events.
The deadline for Christmas applications
is 10 November 2007. For Easter and
summer, applications must be submitted by
31 January 2008.
