Training Contract

Jones Day’s distinctive training contract structure is integral to their culture and success and the benefits are felt at every level. In the absence of a rigid seat-system, trainees have the flexibility to mould their career from the earliest opportunity and enjoy a high level of responsibility. Trainees are quickly integrated into various teams across the Firm and gain unparalleled exposure to different areas of law. Trainees are never held back by set ‘trainee’ tasks or have to drop an interesting case or deal to move on to another department. This aids strong client bonds and opportunities to assist on all aspects of a transaction.

The freedom the training system affords works best within a supportive and collaborative environment. The training contract is supplemented by a dedicated seminar programme to build technical skills, with mentors and regular appraisals providing consistent support every step of the way.

Vacation Scheme

A two-week vacation scheme is the ideal opportunity to discover whether the firm distinctive way of training suits you.

Jones Day’s schemes reflect the non-rotational system and are designed to assess your potential as a future lawyer. During a scheme you will work on real, client matters, join group exercises and interactive workshops. The very nature of the scheme also helps to determine your suitability to their distinctive way of training, and each individual is encouraged to really consider whether it is right for them.

The firm expects to recruit all of their trainees from our Vacation Schemes. If you enjoy your time with them, and they see your potential, it's the way to secure a Training Contract and your future at Jones Day.
