The Firm
Jones Day operates as one firm world-wide
with 2,200 lawyers in 30 offices. Jones Day
in London is a key part of this international
partnership and has around 200 lawyers,
including around 45 partners and 40 trainees.
This means we can offer our lawyers the
perfect combination – the intimacy and
atmosphere of a medium sized City firm with
access to both UK and multi-national clients.
Types of Work
Principal areas of practice at Jones Day include:
Corporate finance and M&A transactions;
investment funds, private equity and corporate
tax planning, banking, capital markets and
structured finance, business restructuring,
litigation, intellectual property tax and real
estate. The London office also has teams of
lawyers who are experienced in such areas as
competition/antitrust, environmental, and
employment and pensions law.
Who should apply
Candidates should have obtained or be
predicted a 2:1 degree in any discipline. We
look for candidates with either a law or nonlaw
degree, who have strong intellectual and
analytical ability, good communication skills
and who can demonstrate resourcefulness,
drive, dedication and the ability to be a
team player.
Training programme
The firm operates a unique, non-rotational
system of training which is designed to provide
freedom, flexibility and responsibility from
the start. Our trainees work across different
practice areas concurrently and are
encouraged to assume their own workload,
which allows for early responsibility, faster
development of potential and the opportunity
to compare and contrast different disciplines
alongside one another. Because our trainees
do not move to a different department every
six months they don't miss the end of deals
or trials that they have worked on. Work will
vary from small cases which trainees may
handle alone (under the supervision of a
senior lawyer) to matters where they will
assist a partner or an associate solicitor.
The firm runs a structured training
programme with a regukar schedule of
seminars to support the thorough practical
training and regular feedback that trainees
receive from the associates and partners that
they work with.
