Osborne Clarke is a European law firm that operates globally with offices in the UK, Germany and the US. The Osborne Clarke Alliance has offices in a further 9 countries across Europe.

We have the legal expertise and high performance culture that you would expect from a leading business law firm. We strive to ensure that our lawyers are not only technically excellent, but also that they have the commercial acumen, management and leadership skills necessary to excel in a highly competitive market.

Our culture and attitude to work is what sets us apart. We want people to enjoy working at Osborne Clarke and to feel part of our growth strategy. The firm is proud of its open, friendly and collaborative environment with a strong emphasis on teamwork.

Our growing success is down to our service-driven approach and our commitment to developing the lawyers and partners of the future on our trainee programme.

We have an outstanding record for retaining trainees once they qualify, and we aim to keep it that way. Our graduate trainee programme is just the first step. Think of it as an investment in your future. And ours.

Where it all begins

Your training contract will be based in one of our UK offices in Bristol, London and the Thames Valley, each at the heart of the city’s business community and boasting a mix of cutting-edge architecture and contemporary working spaces.

Our inclusive culture means you’ll be a valued member of our team from the start, working alongside experienced lawyers in an unstuffy, open-plan environment.

Real experience

There’s no holding you back once you start.

We believe in giving our trainees real experience with real clients from the word go. These will include international brands such as Yahoo!, 3i, Vodafone, Barclays and Honda.

Through our practice areas, we give you the opportunity to gain experience across a broad spectrum of business sectors and practice areas.

If you can handle real responsibility, you’ll relish the experience.
