Secondments

Secondments to and from the firm are a vital part of our international strategy. Our trainees and associates have the opportunity to work abroad, either in our overseas offices or on secondment with independent law firms. During 2006 and 2007 our lawyers were seconded to Australia, China, Dubai, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden and the US.

Lawyers from the firms with whom we have close relationships also spend time with us.
