Knowing how our clients’ businesses work and understanding what drives their industries is fundamental to us.

Working for Norton Rose
We currently have a number of vacancies for ambitious lawyers with plenty of energy and drive. All applicants will need a strong academic record, proven legal skills of the highest calibre and commercial awareness combined with motivation, enthusiasm and the ability to work as part of a team.
As an associate you will be encouraged to get involved with the broader business issues, everything from marketing to business planning. The opportunities we can offer in terms of training and progression are outstanding. On joining us you will agree a personal development plan which stems from the needs of the business combined with your own career aspirations. Working closely with your supervising partner, your team, the learning and development team and our know-how group, you will have every opportunity to develop your skills and experience to ensure you are fully equipped to manage the needs of our clients.
You will gain experience of working with major national and international organisations on high profile deals in a culture that promotes learning and teamwork. In addition, it goes without saying that we offer an exceptional salary and benefits package commensurate with a top international legal practice, and our sports and social activities are extensive and cater for a wide range of interests.
Community
We believe in building relationships with the wider community that are mutually beneficial. These relationships develop over years and add purpose and reason to our work. We know the benefits of long-term commitments.
In the area of corporate social responsibility, we are interested in new ideas and initiatives that can help us grow our remit and make an increasingly positive impact.
Our work with the community reaches out to include our mentoring of young people, support for older local residents and our environmental concerns, as well as the more traditional pro bono work and fundraising activities through the Norton Rose Charitable Foundation and the efforts of many individuals in the practice. Our relationship with the international charity Barretstown continues to thrive, to the benefit of all concerned.
We have always had a collegiate culture and we hold dear the many intangibles that are part of that. We are a diverse group of people (and we like it that way) but there are some things common to us all, and a focus on community is one of them.
Diversity and inclusion
We are a people business. We will only be able to maximise our people’s contribution if we create and nurture an environment and culture which supports, respects and values all our differences, whether in gender, race, nationality, religion, belief, age, ability or disability, or sexual orientation. The provision of an inclusive and collegial working environment where every employee is valued for his or her contribution is fundamental to our vision and values and is a key ingredient in our business success. A strong and healthy focus on diversity is not an option, it’s a necessity.
We already work hard to attract new talent. But we need to work harder to seek out areas where talent lies hidden in order that we are recruiting from the broadest talent pool possible. To retain our talent, we need to work even harder, encouraging a culture where every individual feels highly valued and motivated, regardless of role. A focus on diversity and inclusion is critical to this.
Therefore, we are striving to put in place best practice policies and programmes around diversity and inclusion so that our clients, and our employees, truly believe we are committed to being outstanding in this area. We appreciate this is an ongoing journey and we are determined to be seen as a successful example of diversity and inclusion in the legal sector and the broader business community. In turn, we hope our clients will feel they are partnering with a practice which consistently applies high standards in this area, and our people will remain proud to work for us, as an employer of choice.
