Great minds

Academic ability is important, and we look for a minimum of AAB at A Level (or equivalent), and at least a 2.1 in any degree discipline. We appreciate due to personal circumstances you may not meet the AAB requirement – if this is the case for you, please reach out to our team.

Commercial instincts

Before you can advise clients, you need to understand how they operate. You'll need to have good commercial instincts and be able to demonstrate you understand how businesses work.

Collaborators

From teaching junior colleagues to advising clients, collaboration will be essential to your role. You'll need to be able to explain complicated issues clearly, engage with stakeholders effectively and manage your workload efficiently.

Adaptability

We advise clients who are shaping the future. You'll be working in sectors where the law frequently changes, and you'll need to be able to adapt quickly to new situations and feel comfortable with the unknown.

Determination

You’ll work with exciting clients in incredible sectors - but it’s going to be hard work. You'll need to be focused, committed and have the drive necessary to solve often complex and challenging legal issues.

My first seat was in the Private Client team and I absolutely loved it.

I received a lot of hands-on experience with trust structures, often involving complicated international elements, along with other tricky advisory pieces considering tax and other areas. The team undertakes an incredibly broad range of work, meaning that every day brings its own unique challenges and keeps you on your toes!

Trainees are given real responsibilities, and sometimes you might be the only trainee on a project or matter.

This can mean a steep learning curve, but it allows you to grow and learn very quickly.

I was attracted to Taylor Wessing due to its Disputes and Investigations team and joined the firm two years after I qualified.

The work we do is really varied, and in a single day I could be advising an individual, a start-up founder and in-house counsel across different sectors. Cases are often reported in the press, which makes you realise the impact the work you do has in the real world (which is easy to overlook when you're working at your desk!).
