When lawyers need lawyers

Even lawyers sometimes need legal support of their own. In this session, Danny Charity and Oliver Clarke from RPC's Solicitors' Defence team share their experiences of being the people solicitors turn to when things go wrong. They’ll discuss the realities, challenges, and insights that come with defending fellow legal professionals—followed by an open Q&A.

For us, success comes from building trusted relationships. Trusted relationships with our clients as much as our people.

Our business is built on mutual respect and trust. That’s where you come in. From day one, you’ll collaborate with our Partners; you'll have contact with clients; and you'll be given real responsibility. As a Trainee, you could be assisting with large-scale global disputes, or offering business-critical commercial advice. 

But you won't be left to fend for yourself, you’ll receive first-rate training. You'll be able to develop your skills and you'll be encouraged to use your creativity to solve complex problems. We're agile and flexible, and that's reflected in our approach to our Trainees. You can choose to spend time in a wide variety of practice areas supporting a range of dynamic sectors. And not just in London, with training contracts, placements and secondments on offer in Bristol, Hong Kong and Singapore, too, we're truly international.

We also offer alternative routes into law. No matter what stage you are at in your life, our apprenticeship scheme will help build the foundations of your career with the training and support you’ll need to excel. 

Our award-winning Summer Schemes are as much about you experiencing life with us, as us experiencing working with you. Over two weeks you'll get real exposure to real work in a real-life environment. Fully integrated into our teams, you'll get to know the people from the get-go. If you're just after a snapshot of life in our law firm, we also offer Insight days where you can shadow, network, and experience our culture first hand.  

So, if you’re a creative thinker who wants a career in an international firm that values personality as much as professionalism, we want to hear from you.
