Firm Description and Career Prospects
Ashurst is a leading international law firm advising corporates and financial institutions, with core businesses in mergers and acquisitions, corporate and finance. Our strong and growing presence around the world is built on extensive experience in working with our clients on the complex international legal and regulatory issues relating to cross-border transactions. We have 217 partners, over 600 solicitors and around 1800 staff in total operating from fourteen international offices; Abu Dhabi, Brussels, Dubai, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, New Delhi, New York, Paris, Singapore, Stockholm and Tokyo. It is only by selective recruitment that we can maintain the Ashurst culture and the high quality and consistency of our service. And our vision? To be the legal adviser of choice to the world's most ambitious organisations.
Sponsorship Details
Full fees for the CPE and LPC plus a maintenance allowance of £7,500 for each year.
Details of Work Placements
One intake of two weeks at Easter primarily for final year non-law undergraduates and all graduates. Two intakes of three weeks in the summer, primarily for penultimate year law undergraduates. However, you are welcome to apply for whichever intake is the most convenient for you. Applications should be made online to Stephen Trowbridge between 1 December 2008 and 31 January 2009. We will offer places for the 2009 schemes throughout this application period. As it is possible that the schemes may be full before the 31 January deadline, it is best to send your application in as early as possible.
Details of the Training Programme
Your training contract will consist of four seats. For each, you will sit with a partner or senior solicitor who will be the main source of your work and your principal supervisor during that seat. You will, however, be encouraged to work with a variety of solicitors during the course of your training. Seats are generally for six months. Anything less than that will not give you sufficient depth of experience for the responsibility we expect you to take on. We ask trainees to spend one seat in the corporate department and one seat in the international finance department. Trainees spend their two remaining seats in our other practice areas.
The work you undertake will obviously vary from department to department but, in all cases, our philosophy is to give all trainees as much responsibility as they can manage. That means you will meet clients, write letters and draft agreements. As the training contract progresses, you will increasingly conduct matters without constant supervision.
Ashurst provides a comprehensive training programme to support the practical experience that you will gain during your training contract. This programme has been specifically designed to meet your training needs and satisfy the requirements of the PSC. During your training, you will attend courses, lectures and workshops, and undertake a number of practical exercises. These will give you an excellent insight into important and interesting areas of law. At the start of each seat, each department holds an induction course for trainees and publishes short guides and checklists to ensure that you fully understand and experience the work of that department.
