Careers at CVML

At CVML, we believe exceptional legal advice starts with exceptional people.  We look beyond academic achievement alone and value intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, motivation, and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a close-knit team.

With offices in Paris and the Middle East and an international client base, fluency in both written and spoken English is essential.  Additional languages are advantageous depending on the role and location.

Legal careers

We recruit lawyers at all stages of their careers, from newly qualified associates to experienced practitioners and partners.

Our lawyers work closely with clients on complex, often cross-border mandates and are given early responsibility and meaningful involvement in the firm’s work.  We value people who combine technical excellence with commercial awareness and discretion.

We welcome applications from lawyers who have gained experience at leading international, independent and regional law firms who are seeking more involvement and engagement, a faster decision pace and an entrepreneurial working environment.

We also offer internships throughout the year to law students seeking practical experience and an understanding of law firm operations.  When recruiting paralegals, legal analysts and new qualified associates, we may give preference to candidates who have previously spent time with us conducting an internship.

Business services careers

Our business services teams play a vital role in the success of the firm.  We recruit across a range of functions, including secretarial and administration, human resources, finance, marketing and business development and operations.

We value professionalism, initiative, and people who take pride in contributing to a high-performing, expanding, client-focused organization.

Reward and development

Given the level of responsibility and involvement expected across the firm, remuneration is competitive with market standards.  We are committed to developing our people and supporting long-term careers at CVML.

How to apply

All interested candidates are invited to submit a CV and covering letter to our HR team.  Applications are treated with the strictest confidentiality.
