What we look for

We know that not everyone fits every law firm.

What we look for is simple.

• Intellectual ability.
• Commitment and ambition.
• International awareness.
• Commercial and client awareness.
• Team skills and leadership potential.
• Communication skills.
• A sense of fun.
• Experience outside of academic life.

It’s the combination of these characteristics that create the best fit for us – and for you. However, we understand that there are areas where you may need additional coaching and skill development. This is approached through both formal training and on-the-job development.

Our structured performance review system ensures we set clear goals with all our people. We provide you with regular feedback, support and training to assist you to meet those goals.

We stay focused on how to support and develop our best people. Your career ambitions will flourish at DLA Phillips Fox because we offer an environment where leadership is strong and encouragement is common. We’ll also see to it that your achievements are recognised and rewarded.
