Welcome

Sharon White, Chief Executive
Law – University of Essex

'On an international scale and on deals of every size and complexity, Stephenson Harwood offers commercially-minded graduates the prospect of a rich and rewarding career journey; the opportunity to fully engage with the business world in every sense, and to learn, grow and excel in directions you never expected to take.

For a firm of our size, our international reach and the calibre of our client base is exceptional. We regularly exceed people's expectations - competing successfully against much bigger firms with comparably larger resources. We succeed because we play to our strengths - working in tight, focused and motivated teams, in which everyone is close to the centre of events.

As a trainee, you will work closely with associates and partners, learn from direct involvement with clients and cases, and take on extra responsibility the moment you're ready. Both in the UK and internationally, we can give you the opportunity to stretch yourself in new, challenging and often extremely complex business areas, and to take charge of your own development.

In short, we're a successful, dynamic and ambitious firm - and this is a great time to join us. If you share our outlook, why not share in our future too?'
