SJ Berwin LLP is a pan-European firm and celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The firm was founded with the objective of providing outstanding legal advice in a dynamic and ‘different' environment. The firm's growth has been fast and furious and in less than 20 years we achieved Top 20 City Firm status. Much of the firm's work is international and clients range from major multinational business corporations and financial institutions to high net-worth individuals. As a result the firm has established a strong reputation in corporate finance. With offices in London, Brussels, Madrid, Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Milan and Turin, the firm has over 500 feeearners and 170 partners.

Main areas of work

Our clients are sophisticated buyers of legal services, principally entrepreneurial companies and financial institutions, whom we advise on a range of services including corporate finance, commercial, real estate, finance, reconstruction & insolvency, financial services, litigation, employment & pensions, intellectual property, EU & competition, media and tax. More information about our service groups is available on our website .

The training environment

The two-year training contract is divided into four six-month seats. As over 50 per cent of the firm's fee-earners work is in the corporate finance department, trainees can expect to spend at least half of their training contract there. Trainees may also choose to take a corporate or EU seat in one of the firm's European offices.

How to apply

We welcome applications from all disciplines and all universities. Candidates must have a strong academic record, be on track for or have achieved a 2:1 or equivalent in their undergraduate degree, and have demonstrated strong team and leadership potential. Applications must be made using the firm's online form available at The same form can be used to indicate your interest in an open day, a vacation scheme and/or a training contract.

Open days

We hold a number of open days in December and January. These are informal information events designed to give students an insight into the work, people and culture of the firm. Applications must be submitted as soon as possible as places become filled very quickly.
