WHAT MATTERS TO YOU ABOUT A LAW FIRM? THE QUALITY OF THE BISCUITS OR WORK YOU CAN GET YOUR TEETH INTO?

At DLA Piper everything matters: from the biscuits to the big deals. When it comes to your training contract, we put a lot of effort into ensuring you get the most from your two years. You’ll find it packed full of experience, responsibility and personal development so you develop the all round skills successful lawyers require.

Working with one of the world’s leading practices also means more opportunities: the chance to try the things you want to try, work on secondments abroad or with clients, and get involved with headline making matters.

Before making a crunch decision, visit our website for a further taste of what we can offer: www.dlapipergraduates.co.uk

DLA Piper is an international legal practice, the members of which are separate and distinct legal entities.

For further information please refer to www.dlapiper.com/structure.

Welcome to Newcastle Law Fair 2010 You’ll find over 50 recruiters here today, all looking to fill their training contract vacancies or placement opportunities.

There’s also a range of organisations offering further study or professional training places.

If you need careers advice, feedback on your CV or application help, drop into the Careers Service in King’s Gate - no appointment required.

Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP presents...

THE ALE OF T TWO TRAINEES’ JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF LAW

The recruitment process; a seductive world of beautiful brochures, snazzy exhibition platforms and high-spec websites... you read them all and still don’t know which firm is right for you.

However, if you’re looking to train with a London law firm where you’re in touch with what’s happening right from the word go; where you can get hands-on experience of important, high profile issues and where you know your contribution is valued – you’ve found just what you’re looking for.

DEAL OR NO DEAL

A LEADING LAW FIRM WITH A DISTINCTIVE APPROACH

We take a different approach to graduate recruitment.

True, we want the best, but we also want people who fit with our ethos and who are driven by the need not only to achieve the best possible results for themselves, but also for the firm as a whole, both through their training contract and beyond.
