Baker & McKenzie is a unique firm – and our people are at the heart of it. We offer you the scope and scale of work you’d expect from a major international law firm, yet in an environment that is friendly and supportive.
The firm is effortlessly global. With offices in 70 locations worldwide, our people work seamlessly across jurisdictions and borders. You’ll have tremendous opportunities to work abroad, whether on a trainee secondment or as part of our Associate Training Programme.
The international origins of Baker & McKenzie have shaped the way we work. As a trainee here, you will collaborate with colleagues overseas regularly. Working with people from other offices and other cultures means that we are a naturally welcoming and diverse firm.
This global mindset is reflected in our top quality client base. You will work on high profile, sophisticated transactions for major international organisations. We provide early responsibility and you can expect to be dealing with clients, supported by more experienced colleagues, from your first weeks with us.
It is about more than helping you to become an excellent technical lawyer, however. What makes our lawyers different is their ability to see the commercial perspective. We take the time to understand our clients’ business and deliver pragmatic, commercial advice.
It is an approach that we’ll help you to start developing as soon as you join us. Our award-winning training is specifically aimed at enabling you not only to achieve your potential, but to multiply it, and thus become the best lawyer you can be.
