The AllAboutLaw perspective on Lewis Silkin

From its founding in 1950 by Lewis Silkin, a determined eldest son of a poor family of refugees, the firm has expanded rapidly, becoming market leaders in employment, advertising and marketing law, with six offices throughout the UK, as well as offices across Ireland and Hong Kong. Their membership with Ius Laboris and GALA extends their reach further. This global alliance of the world’s leading employment and advertising firms exposes Lewis Silkin to clients across over 100 countries, allowing their lawyers to work on multi-jurisdiction cases with some of the world’s largest companies, coordinating advice from across their alliances.

Join a training contract at Lewis Silkin, and you will complete four six-month seats, typically within their employment and dispute resolution teams. You can also choose seats from within Lewis Silkin’s other available departments, tailoring your training programme to meet your specific interests. With the option to take on a client secondment, you will have the opportunity to learn more broadly about the legal profession, building commerciality as you learn about your client from the inside.

Guided by their ethos of ‘bravery and kindness’, Lewis Silkin is committed to using their resources to support their community. Employees are encouraged to volunteer within the many pro bono schemes offered at Lewis Silkin. Projects include providing advice to a local employment advice clinic for low-income residents, and working for a Rights of Women Advice line, providing legal advice for women in England and Wales experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace.
