Playing hard and working hard to give something back
Shock news: we won’t expect you to work all your waking hours. In fact, we’d strongly prefer it if you didn’t…
Are the best, most astute and clearest thinking lawyers the kind who never leave their desks, and survive on a diet of black coffee and three hours’ sleep a night? Not in our book. When you join Nabarro, we’ll actively encourage you to get involved in all kinds of “extra-curricular” activities.
As a firm, we’re proud of the active role we play in our local community. For example, many of our London-based lawyers – including trainees – give up their time to run a free law clinic at nearby St Luke’s. Volunteers from our Sheffield office run a reading scheme with a local primary school, as well as a link-up with a local sixth form college, providing students with advice on CVs and other career-related topics. And each year, both offices choose a charity to support, via a wide variety of fundraising activities, with recent highlights having included a fire-walk over hot coals and a sponsored London to Sheffield bike ride. If you’re keen on self-improvement, why not come along to a lunchtime talk by one of our regular guest speakers? And whether your idea of a good time is belting out Bon Jovi’s greatest hits on a karaoke night, playing games – from serious football in the London Lawyers’ League to friendly softball in Regent’s Park – or just meeting up with a few congenial colleagues for an after-work drink, you’ll find your tastes are catered for at Nabarro. It’s a genuinely sociable place to work.
