Why Hugh James?
James Gibson, Second Year Trainee:
My initial degree was in German and
Spanish. On graduation, I undertook a two year law degree.
I was interested in finding a firm that would welcome
applicants who had not pursued the more traditional route to a
training contract. Hugh James is a very open minded recruiter
and takes on trainees from various backgrounds.
The Firm welcomes and appreciates
the unique skills and experiences such individuals can bring to the
Firm. I was also drawn by the fact that Hugh James is a
regional firm with highly regarded lawyers who attract high quality
work from both national and international clients.
Matthew Perkins, First Year Trainee:
I wanted to work in a large firm
which would offer me excellent training and a great start to my
career. I was aware of the fantastic reputation that Hugh James
held and liked the fact that the firm seemed to be rapidly growing.
I worked in Hugh James as a paralegal prior to starting my training
contract – this is something that I would thoroughly recommend.
Hugh James offers expert advice to
everyone - from Joe Bloggs to large corporate entities. Yet,
despite its size, the Firm retains a friendly and down to earth
style. Put simply, Hugh James offers excellent training
whilst also providing a very pleasant and enjoyable working
environment.
Sian Thomas, Second Year
Trainee:
I was looking for a ‘City style’ firm with a broad range of
practice areas and a rather more pleasant commute so Hugh James
fitted the bill. The Firm provides a strong support network
from the induction on your first day and throughout your training
contract.
The Firm is large enough to attract
some of the most prestigious and high profile clients but the
working environment provides a real sense of community; colleagues
are genuinely eager to help rather than compete.
Above all, you are rewarded for
hard work and you are made to feel like one of the team from day
one.
It has also been a very exciting
time to become involved as Hugh James is currently attracting much
attention for its growth and ambition and rarely a week goes by
without some coverage in the press or a large client being
secured.
