Training Contracts
One of the advantages of joining Mayer
Brown are the choices available to you. Our
trainees can tailor their training contract from
a range of different seats, including our main
practice areas in London (as listed above) and
international secondments (Hong Kong, New
York and São Paulo). If you don't want to
stray too far, a wealth of in-house experience
is also available via our client secondments
within the UK. For a large international
firm, our London office remains a tightly
knit team with an open and inclusive culture.
You will nevertheless be given significant
opportunities to assist on matters which may
be multi-disciplinary, cross-border, complex
and high-profile in nature. Trainees are given
high levels of responsibility, case management
and client contact from an early stage. The
firm also has an extensive support network in
place throughout the training contract in the
form of senior-level support and continuous
appraisals.
Work Experience Programmes
We run three work experience programmes
each year; two three-week schemes in
the summer holidays and one two-week
programme at Easter. All are based in the
London office and applications are welcome
from law and non-law undergraduates and
graduates. During our work experience
programmes you will assist a partner or
senior associate on real deals to give you
first-hand experience of life in a City law
firm. You will sit in two departments and you
will be asked in advance which areas interest
you most. You will also be invited to attend
presentations on our different practice areas
to give you more insight into the breadth of
the firm. There will also be plenty of social
activities organised, including a day at one of
our European offices.
