“we believe it ' s the right strategy to develop the firm further , and it ' s what our clients want . ”
it comes as no surprise then that nrf ' s trainees were attracted to joining “a really large global firm with opportunities for secondments and working abroad . ” the firm now has over 50 offices across europe , the us , canada , latin america , the middle east , asia pacific , central asia and africa . one interviewee estimated that around 15 of the 100 trainees do an overseas seat each rotation – that suggests that over the course of their traineeship about half of trainees will be able to go abroad . on top of these international opportunities , trainees were eager to get stuck into the firm ' s breadth of practices . “we ' re primarily a banking firm ,
reflected one trainee ,
but we also have large corporate and disputes teams , and various specialist groups . ” banking and finance is very much a focus in the london office ( “there are at least three floors just for banking” ) and the firm gets some of its best chambers uk rankings for asset finance , energy , commodities , projects , transport , infrastructure and real estate work . the firm is ranked in over 30 areas in total , with nods also going to the regulatory , corporate , litigation and capital markets practices .
the system for seat allocation has changed recently . over the course of their contract , trainees are expected to do at least one seat in banking , one in corporate and one in disputes ( although you can do a two - week disputes course instead of that seat ) . trainees “submit a form with their top three preferences in each of those areas” – the idea is that hr gets a long - term perspective so “they can accommodate you going forward . ” the fourth seat is usually in one of the more specialist teams , ie tax or competition . one interviewee cautioned : “sometimes there ' s no space in the smaller teams people want to try , but in my experience hr ' s very accommodating and makes sure everyone is happy . ”
many start in the firm ' s banking department , which is split into project finance , asset finance and general banking teams . general banking covers the financing of properties , telecoms projects , and “bits and bobs of banking that don ' t fit into the other teams . ” recently the team advised invesco real estate on the €1 billion refinancing of a portfolio of properties across the uk , spain , france , germany , italy , the netherlands and poland . document management , running conditions precedent checklists , and post - completion bibling make up most of a trainee ' s work . “organisation is key , and providing you are on top of things you do get given client contact , ” a source reported . as most deals have cross - border elements , trainees are also involved in co - ordinating foreign counsel in multiple jurisdictions . towards the end of the seat , trainees undertake the initial drafts of ancillary documents like board minutes , securities documents and shareholder resolutions .
the work in project finance is dependent on the state of the market – renewable energy has been a “hot topic” recently . the seat also covers refinancing work on projects that haven ' t done so well .
that means not dealing with big loans , but rather tweaking existing loans so projects can go ahead ,
a source explained . trainee tasks are
not that intellectually challenging
– most are organisational . again , rookies handle conditions precedent checklists , act as a first port of call for clients , manage documents , and draft board minutes .
it ' s quite stressful ,
one source reflected . clients include banks like deutsche bank and bnp paribas ; investors like balfour beatty capital ; mining companies like rio tinto ; and even the angolan ministry of finance . one recent international matter saw the group advise the national commercial bank of jamaica on the debt financing of a 190 - megawatt lng power project in jamaica . we heard that the seat is “pretty terrible for hours” with one source telling us they had
worked into the small hours for a couple of months .
however , interviewees agreed that “if you want to work for a big firm doing transactions , you can ' t do so if you don ' t want to work really hard . ”
asset finance mainly covers shipping , aviation and rail finance . the team acts for both lenders and borrowers . in aviation finance “the clients are mostly international airlines everyone knows
– british airways , easyjet , virgin atlantic , sas , delta . there are some clients you may not have heard of : the firm recently advised icelandic budget airline wow air , which was founded in 2011 , on the sublease of two a320 airbuses . leases are more common than outright purchases in the aviation world , as
airlines don ' t tend to own all their planes . having so many aircraft on your balance sheet is dangerous in case you lose them . . .
most trainee tasks are much the same as in general banking and project finance , but one source told us : “i was lucky enough to build up enough trust to handle my own transaction . it wasn ' t mega complex – simply the lease of one aircraft to an airline . ”
the corporate department is also divided into subgroups which focus on finance , insurance , energy , and tech clients . trainees get stuck into a range of work including public and private m & a , public offerings , joint ventures , private equity , and technology and telecoms work . there ' s corporate support work too . rookies start off with data - room management and the reviewing of commercial contracts , then move on to more substantive work like drafting legal opinions and joint venture agreements , as well as producing due diligence reports . “there ' s a lot more free drafting than in banking , ” one trainee reflected ( that means contacts and agreements may not always be produced based on a standard form ) . corporate clients include investors ( cme , terra firma ) , banks ( santander , hsbc ) , mining companies ( bhp , rio tinto ) , plus insurer aig and vodafone .
