K&L Gates SURVEY SAYS


Vault’s Verdict: Solicitors point to a friendly culture and good relations with partners, although redundancies brought on by the economic crisis have led to uneven workloads and less frequent socialising. Meanwhile, trainees enjoy “great camaraderie”, supportive training and reasonable working hours.

What Solicitors Say

•  “Supportive culture, particularly in real estate; global platform enhances quality of working environment.” – Solicitor

•  “For the most part, deals are partner-led and you are very much made to feel like an equal member of the team.” – Solicitor

Tips from the inside

Vault’s Verdict: The application process is rigorous and thorough, with an “excellent” assessment day, one of whose goals is to determine how well the candidate fits the firm’s culture. It helps to be accomplished, confident and amiable and to have a wide range of interests. More importantly, however, advise insiders, “be yourself” since the firm prefers “genuine people”.
