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