Many graduates state one of the main reasons they joined the firm was the people. Here’s what our people have to say:

“KWM staff are extremely supportive and welcoming to all clerks and graduates. The teams are made up of diverse and sociable people, who come from a variety of different backgrounds. This diverse network fosters a true sense of community within the firm.” – Laura Jackson, Solicitor “It is a given that you will work on high-calibre and interesting matters at KWM. One of the main reasons I chose KWM was the culture. The people at KWM are hard-working, but downto-earth and generous with their time. You will learn a lot through hands-on experiences and will be asked to take responsibility for your work from the start.” – Emily Bell, Solicitor
