Pupillage Vacancy Information
About Authorised Education and Training Organisation
CANDEY is an elite firm of solicitors, barristers, US Attorneys and BVI lawyers based in Lincoln’s Inn (8 Stone Buildings and 8 Old Square). We specialise in commercial litigation and international arbitration. We also have offices in New York, Vienna and the British Virgin Islands.
Consistently ranked amongst much larger international firms, we appear in some of the biggest commercial cases in the English and BVI High Court, Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court and in significant international arbitrations. We strive to combine the best qualities of a chambers with those of a traditional law firm, in a thoroughly collegiate environment and supportive culture.
We are looking to grow organically through the recruitment of bright and ambitious pupils who we aim to retain on qualification. As well as an excellent grasp of law and procedure, you will be hardworking, a team player, with emotional intelligence, judgment and commercial nous. Above all, you must have a sense of humour, and a desire to push boundaries and influence the development of the law. Training is provided by both in-house counsel and external barristers and KCs.
This is a unique offering and we are particularly drawn to candidates who may prefer and are particularly attracted to a hybrid environment in which solicitors and barristers collaborate to achieve great results.
Our core areas of practice are as follows:
- Corporate and commercial litigation – We specialise in a wide range of international commercial, financial and technology disputes, including contract, company, joint venture, partnership, and shareholder claims, as well as civil fraud and professional negligence.
- International arbitrations – We have acted in a wide range of arbitrations administered by all the major institutions, including the ICC, LCIA, UNCITRAL, HKIAC, SIAC and DIAC, as well as ad hoc arbitrations. The vast majority of our arbitration work contains multiple cross-border elements, most particularly in relation to the CIS, US, BVI and Cyprus.
- Insolvency – We act for and against receivers, liquidators, and administrators, including interim receivers and provisional liquidators.
- Regulatory disputes and sanctions – We represent individuals and corporations in cross-border government investigations, regulatory enforcement actions, internal investigations, and financial crime prosecutions. We are also regularly engaged to help international companies navigate US and UK sanctions and export controls.
- Lawyers’ rights – We have a special interest in fighting for lawyers’ rights, as by empowering lawyers and strengthening their ability to recover on contingent agreements, we facilitate access to justice for those with limited resources.
We regularly work with or on behalf of other lawyers in other jurisdictions, particularly in the BVI, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Dubai, Russia, Ukraine, and USA.
