Curtis is one of the longest established international firms in either London or New York. It was one of the first US firms to open in Mexico City in 1985 and remains the only US-headquartered law firm licensed to practice in Oman. In London since the mid 1970s, the firm operates out of 19 offices across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. The firm is well known for representing state-owned energy companies and governments around the world, but also has many institutional, corporate, multinational, HNW and private clients. Curtis has a full service offering in most of its offices, as well as highly regarded international practices, such as international arbitration, international trade and investment funds. Our core practices in London are in international dispute resolution (arbitration and litigation) and international transactional work (whether corporate, infrastructure or finance).

Curtis’ core practices in London are: international dispute resolution (arbitration and litigation) and international transactional work (infrastructure, finance or corporate/commercial law). The latter includes M&A; private placements; public offerings; venture capital and private equity; fund formation; joint ventures; infrastructure projects; and debt finance. 

Curtis provides an international and dynamic environment. Applicants will need energy, enthusiasm and an ability to get on well with people of all kinds, as well as excellent academics. A proactive approach is a plus, as are languages and a willingness to travel. Curtis’ London office is small, friendly, diverse and internationally minded. As a key hub for the firm’s European and African activities, many of our overseas partners and colleagues visit regularly. Instead of a traditional four seat method, we offer flexible but non-rotational training. This allows for a highly tailored approach that plays to individual interests and talents. Our second-year trainees spend up to ten weeks participating in the summer associate programme in New York.
