Job description

At times of disruption, we support our clients to adapt to rapidly-changing business landscapes. Side-by-side, we work with them to navigate uncertainty. Because wherever there are challenges, we see possibilities.

By understanding the issues they face and drawing upon our legal expertise along with the wider KPMG capabilities, we’re reimagining law. We’re looking for new opportunities and delivering digitally-driven solutions that will help our clients evolve and thrive in a new world.

At the heart of this change are our people – collaboration is pivotal to everything we do. Our approach allows us to supply rounded legal solutions inspired by a deep industry knowledge and business insights from our wider practice areas of Tax, Consulting and Deal Advisory. All supported by a global legal network operating in 81 countries with access to more than 2,800 legal professional colleagues worldwide. It's this multi-disciplinary approach that sets us apart and which, from day one, will give you the opportunity to experience a broad range of legal projects with exposure to the wider KPMG network, here and abroad.

Working with some of the world's biggest companies, you could find yourself on projects ranging from Business Structuring, Regulatory Compliance and Contentious & Disputed Matters; right through to Deals & Finance, Workforce & People and Data, Digital and Technology. Or even, Private and Family Office matters for our high net worth clients. Underpinning all our work is our innovative use of technology. Our legal trainees have access to advanced digital solutions and we actively encourage a strong technology focus.

If you want to be part of shaping the future of law in a career that's full of intellectually stimulating work and variety, you’re in the right place. You'll work alongside, and learn from, some of the brightest minds as you rotate across a number of practice areas and help to solve some of our clients’ most complex legal and business problems. You'll use your natural curiosity, digital mindset and desire to work together to explore new ideas and deliver exceptional results.

The work can be challenging at times, but in return for your commitment, you'll be supported through your professional qualifications so you can develop all the skills you need to fulfil your potential. You'll also be encouraged to make a difference through volunteering days and community initiatives as part of an agile, inclusive environment where everyone is encouraged to be themselves, and empowered to be their best.
