The world’s largest law firm. That’s 12,500+ lawyers working across 200+ locations in over 80 countries. To call our team of challengers diverse would be an understatement. That said, we’re always looking for fresh perspectives and individuals with unique skill sets to contribute to our rich culture. After all, you can’t innovate, progress or shape the future without doing things a little bit differently.

Our size and distinction speak volumes, especially in the Middle East. We’re the biggest of any international law firm, spanning the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt. This means a breadth and depth of coverage, knowledge as well as the means to shape the local legal industry into something we’re all proud to be part of.

I have enjoyed the variety of work and the opportunity to rotate through different departments, which has allowed me to gain a broad understanding of the firm’s practice areas. Each seat so far has provided me with a unique perspective, and I have been able to develop a well-rounded legal skillset. The exposure to high-profile clients and complex cross-boarder cases in a dynamic region like the Middle East has been particularly rewarding. Additionally, the chance to work in a multicultural environment, where I have collaborated with colleagues from different legal backgrounds and jurisdictions, has truly enriched my experience. The firm’s commitment to providing trainees with real responsibility from the outset has also accelerated my learning and confidence in handling client matters. – Middle East Trainee
