"Vinson & Elkins not only stands out as a leading energy law firm worldwide but it is also one of few firms in the City of London that can truly boast a unique training experience. The refreshingly flexible structure of the training allows you to undertake work in all of the firm's core practices and to interact with lawyers at all levels. It is the trainee's responsibility to seek out work in the same way as would be expected of an associate. The work itself is varied, fast paced and interesting; it exposes trainees to high value deals, leading energy projects and cutting edge technologies.

Vinson & Elkins places an emphasis on individuality and the shouldering of responsibility from the early stages of training. Your opinion will be respected from day one and the partners, associates and fellow trainees are, without exception, approachable, amiable and down to earth. There is a strong sense of collegiality and the office certainly does not lack good humour."
