Important information

 

We understand that the use of AI in the legal sector is ever-evolving and we are proud to have an Innovation and Legal Technology team who are constantly looking at how our lawyers can benefit from the advantages that AI can bring, alongside responsible governance of practices. We are utilising AI as a firm in a measured and secure way.

 

The purpose of the application form is for us to understand more about you and what draws you to the firm - i.e. the personal elements that AI is unable to replicate. While we do not prohibit responsible use of AI in preparing your application form, we would ask you to remember that AI will give similar suggested responses to everyone who asks the same questions. We are more interested in original and authentic content than applications which all say the same thing. We want you to use the application form to showcase your talents, personal experiences, qualities and skills that could benefit the firm.

 

Responsible use of AI does not mean overreliance, or copying and pasting answers, which would inhibit your ability to show your unique and diverse characteristics.

 

Trowers & Hamlins reserves the right to withdraw any offer made by us in the event that there are any factual inaccuracies in the information you provide on this form.

 

If you are successful, your academic certificates will be checked against the grades provided by you in this form. Therefore, please make sure they are correct before submitting.
