What we look for in you

We value our trainees and see them as integral to our continued future growth and success, and as such invest greatly in identifying and developing individuals who are suitable both in terms of ability and personality. Culturally, it is important that the match is right!

It is not necessary for your degree to be law-based, however we require individuals with high academic ability, and we would prefer a 2:1 degree. Equally important are your personal attributes; enthusiasm, energy and commitment, coupled with the ambition to achieve 100% client satisfaction in everything you do. You should have a practical approach and be able to work under pressure and to tight deadlines when required.

You should work well in a team and you should be willing to accept responsibility. With the appropriate supervision, we encourage and expect our trainees to take a common sense and commercial approach to solving our clients' legal and business problems.

If you feel you meet the above criteria, we would love to hear from you. Working at Browne Jacobson is a rewarding and challenging experience.
