Latham & Watkins

Who we are?

As you plan your career in law, whatever stage you are at, you will be trying to differentiate between the world’s top law firms. Here we offer some insight into what a career at Latham & Watkins in London is like, to help you decide whether this is the place to make your mark. Our teams of sharp and intelligent people have built one of the few global law firms with truly integrated strength in the major financial centers across Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Asia. As our teams are smaller than those in many large UK law firms, we are looking for energetic people who are ready to make an important contribution almost immediately in our growing London office — people who will relish playing a key role in international projects and working alongside fellow lawyers worldwide. If this environment is for you, we look forward to hearing from you.
