Your application

We have a wealth of opportunities for driven and ambitious individuals to join our firm and are always happy to hear from exceptional people.

 

Experienced Lawyers 

We seek to recruit the best legal talent, lawyers who excel at what they do and want to be part of a dynamic, global firm. This means we look for lawyers who share our vision and international outlook, who seek out challenge and seize opportunity, and who can build strong, trusted client relationships.

Whether newly qualified lawyer, a senior associate, a professional support lawyer, or a partner, please contact us in the strictest confidence. As and when we have vacancies, we would love to have you send through your CV and references to recruitment@cms-rm.com
 

Candidate Attorneys

Please note that we are not currently accepting Candidate Attorney applications.

Applications for the 2027 Candidate Attorney intake will open on 2 February 2026 and close on 13 February 2026.

We encourage all interested candidates to be on the lookout for further communications on LinkedIn and our social media once the application window opens.
 

General work

Unfortunately, we are currently not hiring and have opportunities available on an ad hoc basis. Please feel free to send us your CV, academic transcripts and references to recruitment@cms-rm.com as and when you see vacancies on our social media and website. 

 

Business Services Professionals

Our Business Services departments, paralegals and team of legal secretaries play an integral part in the success of our firm, helping us to provide the best possible service to our clients.  If you are interested in finding out about vacancies, please get in touch with us at recruitment@cms-rm.com.

 

Recruitment Process

Assessment: As you would expect, our recruitment process varies according to the role. There will usually be a first and second interview, and sometimes more. You may be asked to do a written exercise or personality assessment, or to give a presentation. We also think it is important to meet members of the team you will be joining. Whatever the case when you apply, we will keep you fully informed of the process and if you have any questions, we are happy to help.

Verification: Please note that we may (where permitted by law) conduct pre-employment screening. This may include checks of your previous employment, qualifications, credit history and criminal record.
 

Local market knowledge. Global outlook

We provide future-facing legal advice to help your organisation thrive. Combining local market knowledge and a global perspective, and with lawyers in locations worldwide, your organisation benefits from the expertise it needs, even across borders.
