Designed in conjunction with the College of Law, London, the Programme centres on a simulated transaction. From project and business management to legal research and drafting, this hands-on, practical training covers the key technical aspects of our work. With direct access to the shared knowledge and experiences of Partners from across the world, you'll build your legal skills and prepare for the reality of life in a global law firm.
