Completing your pupillage with us will give you a real insight into what it means to be a full-fledged lawyer. As a full service law firm with a well-established client base, you will be given the opportunity to work with partners and lawyers on challenging, cutting edge transactions in all areas of law.

We provide you the opportunity to do substantive work, perform important tasks and take on meaningful responsibility. The standards and expectations are high but you will be supported by well-versed professionals.

A pupillage with us is also the best opportunity to get a feel for the type of firm we are, our culture and values and the work we do.

Specifically designed for final year law students in a recognised public university or law graduates currently pursuing their Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP), our JHJ 360 SAP sets out to achieve a wholesome 360° view of legal practise; its hidden secrets, its quirks, its wonders and joys.

During your five months with us, you will meet people from across the firm and gain real hands-on experience by sampling lots of different aspects of the role of a lawyer, including;

• Drafting documents
• Arguing points of law
• Legal research tasks
• Shadowing qualified lawyers; and
• Presentation and advocacy

An attractive feature of the programme is its flexibility allowing students to plan their schedules way ahead to avoid clashing with classes.

It is our people and unique culture that define who we are as a firm. We put our values at the core of our distinctive culture.

We care for our people. We invest in our people, and we share professional know-how across the firm. Everyone is valued and recognised for the role that they do and how it contributes to the overall success of the firm.

We give people the chance to contribute from the very outset, with class-leading support, close supervision and guidance every step of the way. Regardless of role or responsibility, we make sure that everybody has the chance to make an impact and bring something to the table.

Whether you join as a lawyer, pupil, attachment student or support staff, you’ll play a significant part in our team. There are no short cuts: you’ll work hard, but you’ll reap the rewards and our expectations are high, just like yours.

We whole heartedly believe in attracting, retaining and developing highly talented people. We focus on you, we talk to each other on a daily basis and we commit to working with you to develop your skills by giving you opportunities, freedom, and support.
