Welcome to our graduate trainee site.

Each law firm is different, yet the features that make it so may be hard to see from the outside. Inevitably, facts and figures are only a part of the story. What really makes a difference is a firm’s culture.

Our absolute commitment to being recognised as a leading international law firm in our chosen areas influences everything we do. In an intense and ambitious, yet friendly, environment our trainees are expected to, and do, make an important contribution. You will grow with the firm; your characters, skills and individualism are part of what shapes us.

I hope that you will find this dedicated area of our website helpful in conveying what makes Watson, Farley & Williams the firm it is and how you might go about becoming part of it. Who better to paint a picture of life here than some of our existing trainees, assistants and partners? They share their thoughts with you in our Profiles section.
