Ince & Co LLP

With 140 years of experience, we're one of the oldest law firms in the City. But we're not bound by tradition. We've built our success by always taking an innovative approach, looking for new ways to apply legal strategies and create new law. And while our international firm and world leading reputation was initially built on shipping and insurance, over the decades we successfully explored new territory and established our expertise across a number of specific industries. We don't have rigid departmental structures here, instead we have five core business groups: aviation, energy and offshore, insurance and reinsurance, international trade and shipping. And, with clients ranging from insurers, brokers and banks, to oil companies and shipping companies, to airlines, aircraft manufacturers, entrepreneurs and major international trading groups, we can open up a world of opportunity for you.

Our open, friendly culture will allow you to make a real contribution and get involved in all aspects of our practice areas. You'll also enjoy the support of our partners and solicitors as they share their experience - after all, you'll be working closely with them on cases, so they'll want you to be your best too. Academically you'll need at least a 2.1 and AAB at A level. We recruit an even mix of law and non-law graduates, and from a wide range of backgrounds. We're looking for excellent communicators with tenacity, initiative and integrity who relish responsibility and thrive on a challenge. You should also be able to work happily whether you're in a junior role in a large cross-jurisdictional team, or working with a partner as a team of two. Self-motivated, you'll also be able to juggle competing priorities and take a proactive approach to developing your caseload. Naturally the ability to understand the law and apply it or challenge it in real-time, fast moving situations is also essential.
