Anthea and Charlotte really enjoyed meeting so many interested candidates at the University of Cambridge’s law fair yesterday! Thank you for some really detailed conversations around our sectors, including shipping, and for some great questions about our culture and the Training Contract. #LawFair #InternationalLaw #CityLawFirm #CareerinLaw
About us
HFW are a sector focused global law firm specialising in aerospace, construction, insurance, commodities, energy, and shipping. We have over 600 lawyers (including over 170 partners) with 20 offices across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. We’re people who like to get things done. It’s this pragmatism, combined with our creative approach, that makes us our clients’ go-to commercial advisers. And we are, unapologetically, absolute experts in what we advise our clients on. So yes, we’re different. Our clients say “less traditional” – “progressive”, even. Every year our London office recruits 15 trainees per year. A training programme at HFW consists of four six month seats – typically three contentious and one transactional, with at least one seat spent abroad gaining a global perspective of our work and clients. We believe in trainees being given high levels of responsibility and exposure from day one. Our trainees come from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines and we welcome applications from both law and non-law students and undergraduates and experienced graduates alike.

We are delighted that we were able to host the first of City Century's 10/10 series for Year 1 Solicitor Apprentices yesterday! The session, delivered by Rachel Wevill and Patrick McCann, was all about getting started and what Year 1 Solicitor Apprentices can start doing in the early days of their careers to set themselves up for success in the future as they progress towards becoming qualified Solicitors in England and Wales. There was networking with drinks and nibbles to follow, where we were joined by various people from across HFW. It was a great opportunity to enable future cross-firm collaboration at earlier stages, by giving our Solicitor Apprentices the opportunity to meet others and to network. Thank you City Century and City of London Law Society (CLLS) for putting on these great, insightful sessions for Solicitor Apprentices. #CityCentury #SolicitorApprenticeship #SolicitorApprentices #HFWEarlyCareers
