Graduates

At Kennedys we offer a vibrant and supportive working environment built upon our core values; we are approachable, and responsive, we show respect for people, we are trustworthy and straightforward and we ensure that we deliver economic solutions for our clients. Our trainees experience early responsibility and client contact as we find that this produces excellent solicitors capable of running their own caseload once they qualify. We therefore recruit graduates who are confident, articulate and sociable, who are team players, self-aware and resourceful.

Kennedys is a top 50 law firm. We specialise in litigation and dispute resolution and our client base includes, but is not restricted to, the insurance, healthcare, construction and rail industries. In addition, we have an active company and commercial practice, employment practice and a specialised local authority unit. We have developed a reputation for being professional yet approachable and unusually easy to work with. Perhaps the client quote that best encapsulates why Kennedys is different is: “they are calm, they smile, they’re normal!”

Our people enjoy working here and we know that because they’ve told us. The atmosphere is friendly, supportive and trusting. After all we employ the best people so why shouldn’t we trust them to get on with the job? It’s not all work though. We’re a sociable bunch and get together regularly as a firm for social and sports events. We also understand that our staff work hard and deserve to have a life of their own. People who come to work at Kennedys are amazed because we really do have a work/life balance.
