About Osborne Clarke
At Osborne Clarke we’re exceptionally proud of what we’ve built and who we are.
A successful firm with a global footprint and a clear vision, working alongside interesting clients on their most vital matters. A firm that never stands still - always looking for the next challenge. And a firm that cares about its people, investing in their futures and supporting their well-being.
As an international firm, we know first-hand what inviting a diversity of perspectives delivers – creativity, innovation, and a truly inspiring workplace.
That’s why there’s no one type of Osborne Clarke lawyer. And why your story, your ideas and who you are matters from Day 1. Because we never just see a trainee, we see a bright mind with a fresh perspective. At Osborne Clarke your opinion counts, and your voice is always heard – even when it’s not the loudest in the room.
But as proud as we are of our achievements, what really sets us apart from other firms is not something that we could truly do justice to in writing:
Our people
Highly skilled, with diverse perspectives, united in their drive to do things better.
Our culture
Driven by openness, fairness, curiosity, and inclusivity.
Training at Osborne Clarke
Your training at Osborne Clarke is exactly that: Yours.
A bespoke programme that evolves through continuous review and communication, created with your skills, your ambitions and your passions as the guiding principle.
Following your time with BBP completing the SQE preparation courses and examinations, you’ll embark on two-years of different placements throughout the firm, each one building on the growth and development gained by the one before. Starting from an initial scoping meeting to define your first step, followed up with regular reviews and discussion about what comes next and what you need to get there. By the time you reach qualification you’ll know what you want to do and be prepared - and inspired - to do it. And it doesn’t stop there. Unlike other training programmes, ours extends into your first year as a qualified associate, where you’ll be given further support to develop specialist "future of work” skills, grow your network and, if you haven’t already, experience a secondment.
The OC difference lies with our people. So beyond ensuring our future lawyers have all the legal and technical training to succeed, we’re just as focused on what the human behind them needs.
