Kick start your career
We want to hear from ambitious future lawyers who are ready to leave their mark. Here, you’ll find out everything you need to know on how to apply, when to do it, and what you can do to make your application everything it should be.
We look for outstanding academic performance. Most candidates are on course for (or already have) at least a 2:1 in their discipline. That said, we’re committed to recruiting the best people from a variety of backgrounds. We do consider candidates who have lower scores if they show real potential and can demonstrate they’re a strong match for us.
Our competencies
Whether you’re taking the online tests or completing tasks on a vacation scheme, we look for the same traits in our future trainees. We’ll focus on the following competencies during the assessment process:
Analytical minds
Clients rely on us to solve their most complex legal problems. We’ll be checking if you pay attention to details. And if you can use logical reasoning skills to find solutions.
Adaptive collaborators
We look for evidence that you can communicate well and develop trusting relationships with colleagues and clients, no matter their background. Can you adapt your approach to new situations?
Resilient achievers
Project management is a critical skill for Simmons’ lawyers. We want to see that you’re committed to delivering what needs to be done and that you have the resilience to overcome setbacks.
Business thinkers
We’re on the lookout for people who understand how businesses operate and the challenges they face. Show us that you’re able to think independently and can come up with creative ideas for improvements and solutions.
Our assessment process
What’s particularly important to note here is our support for candidates with a disability: if you need any special arrangements during your application process, all you have to do is contact us (graduate.recruitmentasia@simmons-simmons.com) and we’ll do our best to help meet your needs.
