Mayer Brown

Do you learn best through hands-on experience alongside more experienced lawyers, supplemented by formal training?

Does a particularly strong Banking & Finance practice appeal to you, alongside opportunities to experience corporate and contentious work?

Would you value training in a London office that regularly works with teams across the US, Europe and Asia on multi-jurisdictional matters?

How important are secondments to your training experience, given that Mayer Brown offers both international and client opportunities but international places are competitive?

Would you prefer a training contract offering four different seats and broad exposure before deciding where you want to specialise?
