Trainees/Graduates

We see a great benefit in growing talents internally. Therefore we are in constant search of highly motivated and capable individuals who wish to start a career in a leading international law firm.

Candidates should possess:

  • an excellent academic record, a broad range of skills and a good record of achievement in other areas
  • an assured and confident personality with plenty of drive and enthusiasm
  • strong analytical ability and creative thinking  
  • fluency in Russian and in English
  • good teamworking and interpersonal skills
  • organisation and self-discipline

Russian trained candidates

We offer paralegal positions to students primarily based on the results of the summer internship programme, although exceptional candidates can be invited during the year.

Non-Russian trained candidates

Non-Russian trained graduates applying for associate positions should hold a law degree from a highly regarded university and, if they graduated in a non-common law jurisdiction, a post-graduate law degree from a US, German or British university (such as an LLM). Knowledge of Russian and of a western European language in addition to English is an advantage.
