Interesting selling points

• The firm has one of the most extensive legal service networks in the world, with more than 3,700 legal specialists across 100 countries. In the UK alone, it has 458 legal professionals. As such, trainees are advised to see PwC Legal as a law firm within a wider organisation rather than simply an in-house legal entity. 
• The scale and success of the broader PwC professional services group perhaps suggests PwC Legal’s lawyers will have access to an extensive network of high profile clients.
• The firm has provided legal advice to a range of high-profile clients, including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Ford, Caterpillar, Johnson & Johnson and Dell to name but a few. 
• Training contracts are based in either Manchester or London and the firm takes on around 38 trainees per year. 
• The firm emphasises the personal development of its trainees, who receive one-to-one support from their supervisors, a designated career coach, and feedback on every project they undertake. 
• PwC Legal offers a two-week paid summer vacation scheme, which is the principal route to securing a training contract with the firm. Attendees rotate across two different practice areas, and carry out a number of assessments involving similar tasks to that of a trainee. 
• Trainees can sit in a number of seats, including NewLaw, Employment, Immigration, Pensions, Corporate, Data Protection and Privacy, Financial Services, Intellectual Property, Government, Dispute Resolution, Entity Governance and Compliance, Private Client, and Real Estate.
