More About Herbert Smith LLP
Herbert Smith LLP is an international legal
practice with 1,200-lawyers across Asia, Europe
and the Middle East. In addition, its Alliance with
Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe, as well as a network of
relationship firms across the rest of the world,
enables Herbert Smith to provide a seamless,
first class cross-border service.
Herbert Smith’s blue-chip client base includes
FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies, major
investment banks and governments. Its
strengths span the width of commercial law and
its reputation for innovative legal work crosses
most sectors of industry and commerce.
A friendly, collaborative culture prevails at
Herbert Smith and the firm has a powerful
worldwide reputation.
Herbert Smith also has a strong reputation for
the training it provides. As a trainee, you will rotate around four seats of six months each,
which can include a seat in a specialist area such
as IP, tax, trusts, EU/competition, employment,
pensions and incentives or their advocacy unit.
Alternatively, you can apply to go on
secondment to a client or to one of their
international offices.
The training process at Herbert Smith is carefully
balanced between contentious and noncontentious
work; early responsibility and close
support. Great emphasis is placed on
professional and personal development, with the
firm running a mentoring scheme as well as its
own legal development programme.
As well as a strong academic record, trainees at
Herbert Smith thrive on a good measure of
common sense and the presence of mind to find
their feet and make their own way in a large firm. |
