Hogan Lovells is one of the leading global law firms. Our distinctive market position is founded on our exceptional breadth of our practice, on deep industry knowledge, and on our ‘one team’ global approach.
Formed through the combination of two top international law firms, Hogan Lovells has over 40 offices in Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States. With a presence in the world’s major financial and commercial markets, we are well placed to provide excellent business-oriented advice to our clients locally and internationally.
The range of work at Hogan Lovells is very broad. This is one of our strengths as a business and a long standing attraction for candidates. Our international strength across a wide range of practice areas gives us an exceptional reputation not only for corporate, finance, dispute resolution, government regulatory and intellectual property, but also for other specialist areas including employment, EU/competition, insurance and tax.
Trainees at Hogan Lovells spend six months in four different areas of the practice to gain as much experience as possible. All trainees must spend six months in a corporate or finance group, and six months gaining contentious experience in the firm's dispute resolution practice. There is also the opportunity to go on secondment to one of the firm's international offices or one of its major clients in the second year of training. Trainees are offered as much responsibility as they can handle as well as a comprehensive skills training programme, regular reviews, appraisals and support. After qualification, continuous training and professional development remain a priority.
Hogan Lovells recruits up to 90 trainee solicitors per year and 50 vacation scheme students across two summer programmes. Applications are welcome from both law and non-law candidates. The firm recruits high-calibre graduates who can demonstrate strong academic and intellectual ability, ambition, drive, strong communication and interpersonal skills, and a professional/commercial attitude.
