One of the most striking and enticing things
about being a legal trainee with the GLS is
the amount of responsibility and variety of

case handling.

The Jones Day training contract is unique
and challenging and more importantly, is
what you make of it. For me, it has been an
entirely positive experience, however, it is
not for everyone. You have to be proactive
and can't expect work just to fall on your lap
all the time, you must be prepared to work
hard and willing to take on responsibility and
you must be able to manage a busy workload.
However, if you have all these qualities, then
Jones Day has the perfect training contract for
