Careers, culture and clients at US firms
Discover what working at a US law firm is really like, from culture and trainee responsibility to clients, careers, and opportunities.
US law firms are often associated with high-profile deals, lean teams and early responsibility, but what is it really like to build your career at one? In this session, our panellists will explore the realities of working at a US firm in London, from trainee experience and firm culture to the opportunities that come with smaller intakes and international practices. We'll also discuss some of the biggest misconceptions about US firms, how they differ from UK-headquartered firms, and what students should consider when deciding which type of firm is the right fit for their career.
