From day one, you’ll be involved in the thick of fascinating and complex legal work. You’ll take part in a training programme led by experienced team members to bring you up to speed and give you the tools to succeed. And of course, we’ll support you through your profs, both with time and financial assistance.

You’ve probably gathered by now, we’re not your typical law firm - we’ve got a personality, interesting mahi and a curiosity to do things differently.
