Development & Perks
We believe that our strength as an international law firm comes from the quality of our team. That’s why providing the best possible training to our people is fundamental to our business. We know that our clients primarily have business problems—not legal problems—so we’ll give you the training you need to gain a strong command of our clients’ legal, economic and regulatory constraints.
Since we’re a global law firm, we must be confident in handling international cases and communicating with our clients, wherever they are. That’s why our training programs are in both French and English and our ideal candidates speak both languages.
