Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask how a swiss verein structure can benefit trainee solicitors

I am currently applying to Dentons and Baker Mckenzie and I know that both firms have a strong international presence, but I am struggling how to link it to training opportunities or other benefits.

    You might make the case that a Swiss verein leads to more international work/secondment opportunities across a broader range of jurisdictions.
