Job description

In 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, at KPMG Law we’re transforming both the delivery of legal solutions to our clients and also the in-house legal teams that support our clients’ businesses. We’re always looking for new opportunities to achieve better business outcomes, including digitally-driven solutions that will help our clients evolve and thrive in a new world.

Our purpose is to improve the working lives and careers of our clients and our people. Our vision is to bring a fresh approach, delivering better business outcomes and transforming legal services for good. Our aim is to invest to disrupt, and create the UK’s leading integrated legal services business.

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 2,850 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 Deals, UK and International Business Reorganisations, Financial Services, Disputes; right through to Workforce compliance and transformation and Commercial Technology and Data. Or even, Family Office and Private Client matters for our high net worth clients. Office and Private Client matters for our high net worth clients. Our legal trainees have access to advanced digital solutions and we actively encourage a strong technology focus, where you’ll get the chance to work alongside dedicated legal technologists, solution architects, developers, and legal project managers.

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.

We’re reimagining how we work at KPMG. Our firm is creating a tech-driven business to empower and equip our people to be outstanding in delivery – through inspiring workspaces, innovative ways to collaborate and hybrid ways of working. In your role, you’ll work flexibly across your location region – at KPMG offices, engagement sites and from home.

The training and development of our people is critical to the future success of our business.

This ranges from an immersive 5-day induction experience, formal training courses, leadership knowledge bites, learning journals, online courses and networking events – all aligned to our life-long learning strategy and part of our overall student package.

In addition, in our Legal practice we currently offer our Law graduates the SQE & SRA qualifications.

This blended approach enables you to study and learn the content at a pace suited to your learning style, but ensures all are at the right technical level prior to stepping into revision elements so you can focus on your exam technique before the exam. The structure of the programme spreads your examinations over the lifetime of the training contract so that you are able to build up your technical knowledge, and can gradually apply what you are learning in training to your workplace experience.
