international work, and is famous for its strong sector approach. Over 90% of its revenue comes from the seven sectors in which it works - digital business, energy, financial services, life sciences, real estate, recruitment, and transport. The firm’s sector teams include lawyers from all legal disciplines.
Training Contract Following the traditional structure of four seats each lasting six months, trainees are required to sit in corporate, litigation and either property or tax. In each seat trainees receive department-specific training, additional in-house training and the Professional Skills Course. Formal performance reviews are given every quarter and there is a focus on work experience and individual training needs.
Vacation Scheme A two-week vacation scheme is run during the summer by Osborne Clarke in all of their UK offices. Candidates spend a week in two different practice areas to enable them to get a feel for the breadth of work undertaken at the firm. Candidates are paired with a trainee buddy for support and a senior lawyer as a supervisor. Successful students are invited to interview for a training contract at the end of their placements.
