Mayer Brown in London

From it's trendy city location, the London office provides a full service presence working together with its US, European and Asian counterparts to provide clients with complete representation on local and multi-jurisdictional matters alike. Our lawyers practise in a wide range of areas including corporate, finance, litigation and dispute resolution, real estate, insurance and reinsurance, pensions and employment, competition and trade, tax, intellectual property, and information technology. The firm advises many of the world's largest companies including a significant proportion of the Fortune 100, FTSE 100 and DAX and Hang Seng Index organizations from the worlds of banking, insurance, communications, industrials, energy, construction, professional services, media, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and mining.

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.

How to apply
Work Experience Programmes: applications are welcomed from both law and non-law undergraduates and can be made from 1 November 2010. The deadline is 31 January 2011.

For training contracts, penultimate year law students should apply after the release of their penultimate year exam results. Nonlaw students, final year law students and graduates should apply after 1 February in their final year of undergraduate study. The deadline for training contract applications is 31 July 2011.

Whilst our training contracts are based in the London office, trainees will have the opportunity to experience both client and international secondments during their training contract.

All applications should be made via our online system, which can be accessed at
