Main locations: Over 45 offices globally, including London<br />
About us: A practical, straight-talking approach to law. Open,<br />
honest and deep relationships with clients. Training that keeps<br />
on evolving. A global community where everyone is on the same<br />
wavelength – but always encouraged to be themselves. All of this<br />
gives Hogan Lovells a different dynamic to other global law firms.<br />
Opportunities available: Each year, the firm takes on 60 trainee<br />
solicitors – both law and non-law graduates. The two-year<br />
training contract is split into four six-month ‘seats’. During this<br />
time, trainee solicitors move around four different practice areas,<br />
including corporate, finance, and dispute resolution. You will gain<br />
exposure to and develop a rounded understanding of international<br />
law, and you will have an opportunity to apply for an international<br />
or client secondment.<br />
Graduates sought: All degree disciplines welcome. Minimum 2:1<br />
required.<br />
Vacation Work: Hogan Lovells runs highly-regarded spring, summer<br />
and winter vacation schemes. Up to 90 places are available<br />
in total. Each lasts up to three weeks, and gives participants the<br />
chance to work alongside partners, associates and trainees in<br />
major practice areas. Students are exposed to two or three practice<br />
areas and learn to draft documents, carry out legal research,<br />
attend meetings and in some cases attend court. This hands-on<br />
learning is complemented by tailored workshops, case studies<br />
and social events.<br />
Application advice: Please visit hoganlovells.com/graduates for<br />
