As you’d expect from a leading commercial firm, CMS Cameron McKenna offer a comprehensive range of legal services. This gives you plenty of scope to decide which field you’d like to specialise in. As you develop as a trainee, you’ll start to get a better idea of which suits you the best.
We’ve grouped our services into six broad practice areas:
Banking and International FinanceCommercial LawCorporate LawEnergy, Projects and ConstructionInsurance and ReinsuranceReal EstateSome trainees already have an idea of what they’d like to specialise in. But we encourage everyone to have an open mind about the possibilities that are open to you. All of these areas can steer you in the most surprising and rewarding directions. That’s especially true in our firm because of the way we use
industry teams that encompass all of these practice areas.
A career in Banking and International Finance could see you become an expert in a host of areas: acquisition finance, asset finance, capital markets & asset-backed securities, corporate recovery, and project finance.
In Commercial Law no two cases are the same. Here, challenges await you within advertising & marketing, charities, competition & European Community law, financial services, health & safety, intellectual property, employment, pensions, IT / telecoms, immigration, telecoms and technology.
Corporate Law gives you the chance to make your mark in corporate finance, corporate tax, cross-border transactions, fraud, international tax, mergers & acquisitions, private equity/
management buy-outs, privatisation, and VAT.
Within Energy, Projects and Construction you can hone your career in oil & gas, water, construction, electricity, infrastructure/transport, Private Finance Initiatives, project finance, and projects.
