In keeping with its reputation for the quality of its work and innovation, Herbert Smith’s culture is unique.

Individualism thrives in Herbert Smith, but we also have a genuinely collegial atmosphere. Teams of lawyers – rather than just individual partners – share the limelight on high-profile deals and cases.

This team spirit pervades all levels of the firm, with trainees, associates, partners and support staff all playing their part. We recognise and celebrate excellence and intellectual rigour – and we demand these qualities from our lawyers. That is why your peers and colleagues at Herbert Smith will include the leading lawyers of their generation. Through ongoing training and working together, we’ll show you how to apply the law in a flexible and imaginative way.

Our priority is to create and maintain a friendly but professional atmosphere in which you and your fellow trainees can develop into world-class lawyers. We firmly believe that life at Herbert Smith should not just be about work. Within our offices we have sports and social clubs, language classes, quiz nights and a host of other events catering to a wide range of tastes and interests.
