Our Vision
Business cultures are changing. Old and trusted commercial models are fading into history. Companies are having to re-invent themselves, and law firms are no exception. You need to make sure that the firm you join is one that sees the future as you do. A NEW FIRM FOR A NEW BUSINESS AGE In this new business age, Pinsent Masons is a new kind of law firm. Headquartered in London with over 400 partners globally, our offices stretch across the UK, continental Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions and we will open new offices in Dublin in 2017 and Perth, Australia in 2018. We offer a full service capability across five key sectors: Advanced Manufacturing & Technology, Energy, Financial Services, Infrastructure and Real Estate. In each, our aim is to be market-leaders by combining exceptional legal advice with unrivalled market understanding. What distinguishes us is a single, powerful idea - that we are seamlessly one firm; agile, flexible, and focused on giving our clients a competitive edge - whether they're a national supermarket chain, a regional business investment fund or a global technology business. A vision provides direction and motivation for everyone in the business. It helps to keep us focused on a common goal. In Pinsent Masons our vision is to be an international market-leader in our Global Sectors. So whether you're based in our network of eight UK offices or somewhere overseas like Dubai, Hong Kong or Paris, you're part of the same fluid network of talented people, working together. We see openness as a strength; our teams collaborate across different specialisms and support each other at every level. If you have a question, nobody's too important to ask. We recognise talent early, and reward achievement on merit. The future we offer is one in which you can become much more than a first-class lawyer. We're looking to train and develop independent thinkers who are curious about the what, why and where-to-next of international business; innovators with the potential to become well-rounded and knowledgeable business advisers who have the ability to lead a new kind of firm into a very different age. OPPORTUNITIES AT PINSENT MASONS We have various programmes for people interested in pursuing a career in law from school work experience placements; vacation placement programmes for undergraduate students; apprentieship programmes for those who wish to follow an alternative route into professional services; and our two-year Training Contract, which is the final stage for anyone who wishes to qualify as a solicitor. Whilst we hope this site will be a comprehensive source of information for you on the opportunities available, there is nothing to equal the benefits of working within the commercial legal environment to help you fully decide whether or not it is the right career for you.
