Help us change the face of law

Bring your voice, your ideas, your energy and your open mind to a firm that’s confident about what’s next. Here, your growth and ours go hand in hand – and we promise to give you every opportunity to make the most of yours.

Who we are

CMS is an international organisation of independent law firms, pushing boundaries in an ever-changing world. With offices across the globe, we combine deep local market understanding with a global perspective – so we can not only see what’s coming, but help shape it.

We see ourselves as more than legal advisers. We’re here to partner with our clients: to resolve the issues in front of them, anticipate the ones ahead, and find the ideas that move them forward. And because we believe growth is a shared endeavour, the relationships we build – with clients and with each other – are where the best opportunities come from.

Our sectors

More than a career

For us, the future of law isn’t only about what we can do for our clients. It’s about what we do for each other. The support here has a purpose: it gives you the confidence to share ideas, learn from colleagues and shape where the firm goes next. Show us you can deliver, and we’ll be behind you all the way.

Our expertise

Across all our core areas, our lawyers bring the openness, boldness, agility and dynamism it takes to deliver sharp, forward-looking advice and insight.

We like to get fully involved in the worlds our clients work in, rather than watch from the sidelines. It’s an approach that lets us place their interests and priorities at the heart of everything we do.

Innovation

We’re innovators, determined to change the face of law by delivering new solutions that help our clients.

It’s our in-depth knowledge of the areas we work in that makes the difference. That expertise lets us anticipate trends, so we can advise and inspire clients whose success depends on lawyers and business partners with the vision, intelligence and confidence to see what’s around the corner.

That’s why we look for people with those attributes – and why we train and mentor them to keep developing throughout their careers with us.

“At CMS, our emerging talent programmes are designed to help you build a rewarding career in law. We believe in empowering our next generation to become our future leaders. Through our programmes, we’ll nurture your skills, fuel your ambition and help you grow into a career with limitless possibilities.”

Peter Arnold – Head of Emerging Talent (UK & International)
