offers
opportunities for Lawyers and
Trainees interested in the Firm’s
core practice areas.
Training:
The Firm is proud of its
reputation as one of the preferred practices
in Kenya for training new lawyers. Not
only are trainees involved in and exposed
at an early stage to substantial legal
work with responsibility, but also the
convivial atmosphere and collegiality
in our offices makes Daly & Figgis
an attractive place in which to work.
We endeavour to retain every trainee
who has demonstrated competence, commitment
and a team spirit.
We offer between two to four training places each year. The competition for places is invariably high. Interviews take place between September and November for the January intake of the following year. Applications should be submitted from the beginning of August and must be received by no later than 31st October for the January intake. In selecting trainees we look not only for excellent academic transcripts from university and high school, but also a pleasant and effective personality (for which the interview is critical), sporting or other accomplishments, meaningful extra curricular activities are also contributory factors.
Applications should be addressed to the Partner in charge of the Training Committee, Ms. Ashwini Bhandari.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the pupillage places available for the year 2010 have already been filled. Applicants are encouraged to apply for the pupillage places available from January 2011 by sending their applications between August and October 2010.
