Jones Day supports INCU
Jones Day is kindly supporting INCU’s work for 2011-12. Who are Jones Day? Jones Day is among the world’s largest law firms (2,500 lawyers in 34 offices). Its 200 London lawyers (including 50 partners and 35 trainees) offer the breadth of legal services expected of a City firm servicing international clients: yet the intimate office atmosphere is of a medium-sized City firm. We operate a different training system to most City firms. Understanding how it works and why we don’t follow the crowd is key to understanding whether it’s right for you. Our placement schemes, operating like mini-training contracts, will show you how we work in practice and give you a taste of what it's like to be a trainee at Jones Day. Placements On our placement schemes, you'll be given real work to do - not just group exercises. You'll be encouraged to introduce yourself to our lawyers to assist them in their work and experience the type of work you think you might enjoy. Training Contracts We operate a non-rotational training system designed to provide flexibility and responsibility from the start. You have your own office and undertake work from all departments, with any partner or team, throughout your two years of training. Applications Before you apply, study our website and consider whether our training system is right for you. It's not to everyone's taste, but if you think it could suit you, the opportunities are significant. Please apply online via our website: www.jonesdaylondon.com Essential Information Two-week placement schemes are available for law and non-law students, graduates, postgraduates and mature
students in the Winter, Spring and Summer holidays. Applications open on 1 September 2011. The closing dates
are: Pro Bono Jones Day is proud of its long tradition of pro bono work. Through its various pro bono projects, the Firm ensures
that lawyers who are willing have the opportunity to become involved in helping those less able to help themselves.
The London Office is involved in a wide range of local and international projects. London-based projects include
the Waterloo Legal Advice Service, which the Firm has supported for many years. London is also deeply involved
with LawWorks, through which Jones Day lawyers have been introduced to a large number of not-for-profit
organisations they have assisted with legal problems. Contact Us Jones Day |
