Review

Latham & Watkins offers future trainee solicitors a wide range of practice areas to choose from,with around 50 recognised/reputed departments within litigation, corporate, tax, finance and environment groups.

Performance reviews and appraisals are 360°; supervisors are also appraised for their performance of supervisory duties, training and mentoring is a continuous process and trainees have the opportunity to work in departments handling the Swedish practice (managed from London) and part of the Italian practice in Rome and Milan.

Another benefit of working at Latham & Watkins is that solicitors can expect to be promoted to ‘counsel’ and ‘partner’ roles after eight years of post-qualification experience, provided performance criteria are achieved.
