Ince & Co is a modern and innovative law firm, with the clout and reputation of a major international legal practice.
We pride ourselves on our training programme, not least because of its results - over 70% of our partners trained here. We treat our trainees as our solicitors and potential partner of the future, with the emphasis on early responsibility, broad expertise and hands-on experience.
Our trainees work side-by-side with our partners, doing real work on live cases: giving advice; dealing with clients; drafting documents; corresponding with counsel and learning to practise the law. We’re also strong believers in continuity. The cases you work on as a trainee, stay with you until the file is closed, allowing you to follow your work through to its conclusion.
We divide our firm into six core business groups: shipping and trade, insurance and reinsurance, energy, aviation, business and finance and commercial disputes, within which we have a number of sub-specialties. Our reputation in all of them belies our size, with 14 practice areas singled out for praise in the latest Legal 500 Clients’ Guide to the UK Legal Profession.
With our 220 lawyers in nine offices in eight countries, we enjoy a truly global client base and a quality and diversity of work few firms can match. Our client list includes everything from major international names to smaller companies and private individuals.
It’s not for everyone, though. Ince & Co is a demanding and testing environment. Much of our work involves cutting edge dispute resolution on a global scale and the firm is a great place to be a commercial litigator.
If you are up to the task, few firms can offer a legal career that is as stimulating or as rewarding. We offer you a different perspective on becoming a first class lawyer.
“A fine firm, with fine lawyers.” CHAMBERS & Partners
“Once you’re given a case, it’s yours until conclusion. You don’t put down your pen and move on to a new area of law every six months.”
James Hickland, 2nd year trainee.
