    At Taylor Wessing we don't fear the future. We embrace it. And help shape it. If you want to learn from inspiring minds. To work with clients who are changing the game. To unleash your limitless potential.

    What we look for

    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.

    Key sectors
