For some, prior paralegal experience cemented the decision, with one trainee saying it \u201cjust felt like a true fit in terms of the people, the clients, the types of work\u201d as well as the \u201cimportant\u201d work-life balance. The firm\u2019s status as a full-service outfit, with respected partners across diverse practice areas, also appeals to those seeking broad exposure. When compared to peers at other firms, trainees report a mixed picture. Some believe they benefit from \u201cslightly more autonomy in certain teams and on certain matters,\u201d while others feel there is \u201cless focus on training and development at Howard Kennedy\u201d compared with competitors. Nevertheless, there are clear opportunities for early responsibility and involvement in significant cases. Trainees describe a welcoming and collaborative culture, bolstered by perks such as \u201cfree breakfasts and lunches.\u201d Colleagues are approachable, and the firm environment is described as supportive. Areas for improvement include issues with \u201cunreliable IT,\u201d \u201cuncertainty around job security,\u201d and frustrations with technology more broadly. Some also raised concerns about equality of career progression.\u201d Training highlights include involvement in high-profile matters, from \u201cworking on an international IP dispute\u201d to attending a two-day case at the Royal Courts of Justice. Such experiences give trainees a taste of real responsibility and the chance to see the impact of their work in practice. The lows, however, are familiar: long hours under pressing court deadlines, or less enjoyable departmental seats, with banking and real estate finance named here. On hybrid working, opinions vary. Some teams are seen as \u201csporadic\u201d in applying the policy, while others describe it as \u201cvery flexible\u201d and \u201ca good balance \u2013 two days in the office.\u201d Pro bono and CSR are available, though mixed in execution: one trainee felt \u201cthere are sufficient opportunities,\u201d while another noted the \u201clack of supervision to take on pro bono matters\u201d can limit trainee involvement. For those who want a friendly, full-service firm with real responsibility from day one, Howard Kennedy could be the right fit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n        \n             \n                \n        \t\t<p>        \n              \n\n\n           \n        \n         \t\t \n\t\t <h2 id=\"ditl\">A day in the life of...

We\u2019ve also matured in terms of our approach to providing advice to our clients, seeking to simplify and improve the experience of working with a modern, independent law firm.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re proud of our journey. Without losing sight of where we\u2019ve come from, we are focused on where we\u2019re going. We are evolving and growing every day. And just like our clients, we are ambitious and moving forward. Many of our clients are entrepreneurial, ambitious enterprises who are often privately or family owned, or private equity backed. We are one of the few London-based law firms with a large private wealth offering alongside significant business law capability.<\/p>\n<p>The firm also advises major corporates on particular specialist legal matters who find our straightforward approach a compelling alternative to larger, less personal firms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What we\u2019re looking for:<\/strong>\u00a0We believe that the more diverse our people are, the more successful we\u2019ll be as a business. This starts with our future lawyers \u2013 our trainees.<\/p>\n<p>We know that there isn\u2019t just one path into the law. This is why we consider applications from those with previous experience, both in and out of the legal world. We strive to hire people from a diversity of backgrounds based on merit and attitude.<\/p>\n<p>We believe the potential to become an excellent lawyer is about much more than the school you attended or university you studied at. This is why throughout the process, from application form to assessment centre, you are encouraged to be yourself. Our assessment process is designed to allow you to highlight your strengths, while finding out more about what you can expect from a training contract with us.<\/p>\n<p>In order to eliminate bias and allow for an objective recruitment process we use \u2018blind screening\u2019 for all applications. This means any personal information, such as your name and information relating to your schooling including which university you attended, is anonymised. At the video interview and assessment centre stages of the process the assessors receive no information about you or your application other than your name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you\u2019ll do:<\/strong>\u00a0At Howard Kennedy we simplify what others complicate, giving useful advice in language our clients understand. All our clients share something important \u2013 ambition. Whatever their aim we\u2019re here to help them achieve it. We are organised around a number of industry sectors and legal specialisms, with particular strengths in real estate, retail and leisure, and private wealth.<\/p>\n<p>Our clients are typically growing entrepreneurial businesses, and often privately or family owned, or private equity backed. We also advise major corporates who find our straightforward approach a compelling alternative to larger, less personal firms. Much of our work has an international component and we work alongside a network of international firms to enable a strong international offering. This breadth of expertise means that the work you will be involved in as a trainee is wide-ranging, engaging and provides lots of variety.<\/p>\n<p>No two days are the same and there is the opportunity to have client contact from the start. As well as being driven to deliver the very best client experience, you\u2019ll also need to be someone who lives our values. We want you to help us shape our future.<\/p>\n<p>We offer four seats, each six months long, in different departments. We try to match individuals\u2019 interests to the seats that they complete, while knowing from experience that a variety of opportunities makes for an interesting training contract and a well-rounded lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>We offer a range of different support and development opportunities during the two years, including providing a junior and senior mentor, legal training sessions, and skills development sessions such as networking and giving presentations.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be encouraged to be yourself. We know that people perform better if they feel welcomed, included and valued. Coupled with a supportive culture, we\u2019ll help you grow through development and skills building so you can become the lawyer you want to be.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also have access to interesting work, impressive clients, the opportunity to work directly and collaboratively with people at all levels, and you\u2019ll play an active part in the social impact committees from charity and pro bono, to sport and social.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perks:<\/strong>\u00a0Competitive salary;
