Careers in Doha
Legal practice areas
Fully integrated into our international network, our Doha office focuses on the following core practice areas:
As a qualified lawyer in one of our practice groups, you will have the chance to experience and play an active role in regular international group meetings, cross-group training and social events (including international group retreats) as well as consider secondment opportunities to other offices and international clients. Through our sector focus we not only encourage our lawyers to refer business across practice groups in the region, but also attend regular meetings with their international colleagues, creating a genuine and truly international culture. Our Doha lawyers are often afforded a greater level of responsibility and scope than our competitors, both in the region and internationally, and there are plenty of opportunities for career development.
Opportunities for qualified lawyers to join Simmons & Simmons and develop their career in Doha may arise in both a fee-earning and a knowledge-based capacity.
Business services
The business services function in Middle East, including finance, information technology, secretarial, paralegals and marketing & business development are largely based in our Dubai office and the team works closely with colleagues from the Doha office as well as with the wider international network. Central Services functions in the London office provide additional support as needed, and colleagues work closely with their London and international counterparts on various international projects as these arise.
Rewards and benefits
We offer a generous rewards package in line with our position as a leading international law firm.
Community
We want people to enjoy working together at Simmons & Simmons and that means creating the opportunity to get to know your colleagues and have fun, as well as working together. The social committee in each office arranges seasonal parties, along with both professional and family-oriented events which are always well attended by our lawyers and business services teams alike.
