Welcome to our world
At CMS we strive to spend more time looking at our clients’ world than inwards at ours. That’s what makes our approach different. Being able to see things from our clients’ perspective means our people are approachable and accessible. This means we have a genuinely supportive, inclusive culture you won’t find elsewhere.
CMS is an international organisation of independent law firms, with 85+ offices in 45+ countries. What sets us apart is the way we combine our deep local expertise with global thinking and international experience. Putting our clients first, we ensure that we have a comprehensive understanding of their business and provide them with the best possible service. Our objective is to build strong, long-term and personal relationships with our respective clients. In return, our clients, wherever they may be located, tell us this works; they enjoy working with us and see us as the human face of the law.
We take the same approach with our colleagues: we pride ourselves on fostering a workplace where everyone is encouraged to speak up, share ideas, seek advice and where ability and commitment is recognised by rapid progression.
If you share this outlook and you want to be involved in some of the most complex and rewarding work, often cross-border, where finding creative solutions and collaborating with colleagues from across our international network is part of daily life, then our world may just be the place for you.
Whether you are a graduate, experienced lawyer or business services professional, we can offer a great place to work, where you and your career equally matters to us.
Learning & Development at CMS
Our people are our greatest strength. Focusing on their personal development and empowering them through training is important to us at CMS.
At CMS, we aspire to be the standout brand for global legal talent development. We curate learning and development programmes that facilitate personal and professional development, as well as international networking. We believe this helps our people thrive and improves the quality of our client offering.
Through the CMS Academy, we offer a variety of global training programmes. These are delivered via a mix of learning methods and complement the local trainings offered by the CMS member firms. With the CMS Academy online and in-person programmes we ensure that our lawyers, at each stage of their career, from Junior Associate to Senior Partner, are future ready and best placed to serve our clients.
