WHY EVERSHEDS?
You’ve made a decision to join the legal world; you’re confident that you can thrive in the highly pressured environment of a top law firm. You’re now faced with a tougher choice: which of the leading firms should you set your sights on? We can tell you what defines the Eversheds’ experience, whether it’s the one you want is down to you.
Sharper training; faster growth
Choose Eversheds, and you join a business on an exhilarating journey to cement it’s position as one of the leading international law firms. We need our trainees to get up to speed as quickly as possible so they can be part of the team that propels us forward. Combined with the hugely varied national and international opportunities available, your training experience here will, inevitably, be stimulating and enriching.
Powerful reputation
Prestige and reputation matter to us; maintaining them requires commitment and energy. Eversheds is populated with highly talented people who work together to forge strong business growth and maintain a reputation for excellence. We celebrate positive attitudes and people who ‘do’ as well as ‘think’. Our ambition to enhance our reputation and prestige presents responsibilities and opportunities to everyone in the firm.
Facing realities
Eversheds’ trainees are exposed to real work, for real clients. And because our clients and the sectors they operate in are varied and exciting, you’ll gain exposure to challenging projects that make a difference to our business and theirs.
Investing in you
We take our trainees and the training process they go through very seriously; we hope and expect that the time and money we invest in you early on will bring returns to you and the firm in years to come. Because of the size of our intake, the mentoring that trainees get from people at the top of the firm is attentive and thorough, and boosts their capabilities and confidence. We carefully balance freedom with supervision, we work with you to realise your ambitions, and we reward success.
Being well rounded
It takes more than legal skills to be a good lawyer; you need to have a sound grasp of business, an ability to communicate clearly, to sell effectively and lead people under difficult circumstances. This defines our training process and helps us develop lawyers with broad skills and a sharp eye for business.
Individual matters
Hard work, intense deadlines and exacting clients are part and parcel of life at any serious law firm. Eversheds is no exception. Where we do differ is in our insistence that the wellbeing and personalities of our people should be protected and celebrated. You’ll find that we support one another, appreciate a sense of humour and we encourage individual styles to emerge in the way we practise the law.
