Baker & McKenzie is a leading global law
firm based in 70 locations across 38 countries.
With a presence in virtually every important
financial and commercial centre in the world,
our strategy is to provide the best combination
of local legal and commercial knowledge,
international expertise and resources. Our
trainee solicitors are a vital part of that
strategy, exposed to the international scope of
the firm from the moment they start.
Baker & McKenzie, London, is an
established City firm of solicitors with a
strong domestic and foreign client-base
providing legal services to multinational and
domestic corporations, financial institutions,
governments and entrepreneurs. At the heart
of the firm is the Corporate Department which
has acknowledged expertise in international
securities work, strong links with venture
capital houses and has acted in relation
to several privatisations. We also have a
strong local reputation in several important
specialist areas including Intellectual
Property, Information Technology, Telecoms,
Employment, Pensions, Banking and
Structured Capital Markets.
The firm offers a range of secondment
opportunities to trainees and associates. As
a trainee, you will have the opportunity to
apply for an overseas secondment, recent
locations include Hong Kong, Moscow,
Sydney, Singapore and Chicago.
The Firm's three week London Summer
Placement scheme aims to give students
who are interested in a career in the legal
profession a taste of what it is like working
for an international law firm. During the
placement, you will work as a valued member
of the team. We place a strong emphasis on
involving those on our London Summer
Placement programme in live work, ensuring
that you gain a true insight into life as a trainee
solicitor. We will provide training sessions
to familiarise you with some of our typical
transactions, as well as to help you develop
a range of key skills. In addition, you will
benefit from a programme of social activities
which will allow you to get to know people at
a range of levels within the Firm.
We also run an International Summer Clerkship
programme, offering undergraduates the
opportunity to spend up to 12 weeks working
in London and one of our overseas offices.
The firm strives to enable summer clerks and
trainees to be the best they can be. We look
for those who are stimulated by intellectual
challenge. Effective communication skills,
together with the ability to be creative and
practical problem solvers, team players and
to have a sense of humour, are qualities which
will help them stand out from the crowd. |
