Culture & Values
Davis Polk keeps its London office deliberately small, taking on about five trainees a year into a team of roughly 60 lawyers, so trainees get hands-on work from the start. The two-year training centres on the corporate and credit practices, with electives available in areas like tax, financial regulation and antitrust, and a chance to spend time in the New York or Brussels office.
