Welcome from our recruitment partners

Hello, I’m Lawson Caisley, this is Frances Le Grys, and we are Hogan Lovells Graduate Recruitment partners. We have designed this website so that you can have a good look around the firm. You can explore using the virtual tour, or if you’d like to go straight to the content, you can use the navigation panel at the top of this page.

Now, we all know that when you’re applying for training contracts, the big law firms can all seem pretty similar. They certainly make similar claims about what they can offer, but law firms are different, and those differences can have a significant impact on the experience you have as a trainee, and on the career opportunities available when you qualify. I think Hogan Lovells is different for two reasons; the first is in our exceptional breadth of practice. This means you have more diverse options as a trainee, and many more options available on qualification. The second is in the genuinely international nature of our work. Hogan Lovells is a top ten firm in the world by revenue; we’ve got more than 2,500 lawyers in over 40 offices. This translates into genuine international opportunities, with half of our trainees taking up international secondments, and all of them having the opportunity to tackle complex cross-board issues.

We are very selective about who we recruit. We are not looking for cannon fodder, and will only take people who we think have the right mix of ambition, intelligence and motivation to succeed at Hogan Lovells over the long term. We regard our trainees as the future of the firm as demonstrated by the fact that many of the partners here in London, including Frances and me, trained with the firm. We also think it’s very important for you to have a good look and first hand experience of our unique culture before you decide whether to join us. That’s why on an assessment day, you’ll get to meet a good cross-section of people, including partners, associates and current trainee solicitors.

We hope that you enjoy looking round the website. We hope it gives you a real insight into Hogan Lovells, and a good feeling about what it would be like to work here.
