  • Working on London Bridge means that we have great access to places. We also had our balcony tiered for the Queen's Jubilee flotilla. Good healthcare benefits too, but would like more benefits or a broader range.

  • We get several good and interesting benefits but they do not kick in until we have been working here 6 months and so I have not looked into them in detail...

  • The benefits offered early on to trainees. Socials, societies, clubs and generally getting involved in the firm's life is encouraged.

  • Partners are fairly generous when it comes to their season tickets, but other than that there aren't that many unusual perks!

  • Regular free tickets, I have been to watch Chelsea with partners, been in the firm's box at the Emirates for an Arsenal game and have been offered tickets to watch England at Wembley. Trainees are always taken to completion drinks and dinners (and often to additional internal ones).
