As you may already have noted, one of our key aims is to become a leading relationship firm. We have many ways of building relationships, but perhaps one of the most personally exciting for you arises from our secondment programme. Client secondments really help us to forge the best relationships with our clients while giving you the chance to experience a new industry or profession. We also have an extensive programme of secondments across CMS, which is not just limited to our lawyers. For us, international secondments help us work as one team, regardless of international borders - for you they can be hugely stimulating and rewarding life events.
If your secondment involves relocation, you will be fully supported both before and during your time overseas. We offer language tuition, significant assistance with the logistics of moving and much additional help to orient yourself and settle in.
You may also find you have other opportunities to develop your career in other offices on a longer-term basis; again we will provide you with assistance, for example, with the logistics and expenses of relocation and with cultural and language training.
