Info

We believe that we are different at Holman Fenwick Willan and that we offer something more personal in our legal service and in our training contracts. We concentrate – as we have for more than 125 years – on advising businesses engaged in international commerce. In many ways we see ourselves as commercial advisers, rather than as pure lawyers. We are, of course, legal experts in our chosen fields of practice, but we use that expertise as the foundation of the advice we provide, rather than as the primary focus. This is, however, not unique among commercial law firms. What makes us different is our core industry and legal expertise, and that the firm is full of enterprising and innovative lawyers. Completing a training contract with us means working alongside some of the most respected and talented lawyers in their field and embracing opportunities, where Trainees are valued as individuals and encouraged to become Partners. Our goal is to help you develop as a skilled and confident lawyer. Your training contract therefore involves workshops, direct client contact and skills training which support the hands-on responsible work you will do. Given that we recruit a small number of Trainees annually in London, we ensure that each individual is both valued and well trained. We give you our full attention. Your personal contribution makes a real difference. Richard Crump, Senior Partner
■ HFW OFFICE ■ ALLIANCE OFFICE GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES You will join our team of over 450 lawyers working from offices in São Paulo, London, Paris, Rouen, Brussels, Geneva, Piraeus, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth serving clients based throughout the world. All our offices, including our two alliance offices in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, are located in important centres of international commerce. Working in such an international environment introduces you to a wide variety of legal systems from an early stage and shows the importance of choosing a favourable legal jurisdiction in which to bring or defend actions. By completing a training contract at HFW you will have access to global work and opportunities. The majority of our Trainees will spend a seat in one of our international offices. Recently Trainees have completed seats in Brussels, Paris, Piraeus, Geneva, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Melbourne and Sydney. Client secondments are a popular option and even when you are working in London, a training contract with Holman Fenwick Willan offers opportunities for travel. Our international perspective is reflected in the languages used in the firm. In the London office alone, members of the firm speak over 40 languages. HFW Graduate Recruitment: Growing Potential 1
