Programme description

• We provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed.
• We’re committed to teaching you the ropes and then some. During the programme, you will complete a part time Law degree LLB (Hons)  as part of your degree apprenticeship over the course of four years. Aside from your peer group and manager, you will have a buddy and a dedicated programme manager. You will have access to first class technical legal and business training from a well-established team, plus access to Citi’s online training portal and  Global Legal Academy training sessions.
• Side by side job shadowing and coaching with your team will be combined with the opportunity to work with colleagues  in one of the world’s largest investment banks. You will have exposure to all the key skills you need to learn in order to become a successful legal professional.

As an Apprentice your day will look something like this…

• Assignments change each year based on the business needs of the teams.  Below are some examples:
• Drafting - Apprentices will have the opportunity to prepare draft contracts using Citi’s templates and precedent wording.  You will learn to accurately draft a clause within an agreement so that it accurately reflects the commercial terms requested by the business while still being legally binding and enforceable.
• Negotiation - Apprentices will shadow and later do their own negotiations of legal contracts. Negotiation involves the review of a counterparty’s proposed additional, deleted or amended wording within a Citi contract which needs to be escalated to Citi internal approvers for approval or rejection. You will develop commercial awareness, customer service skills and negotiation skills in order to finalise agreement of contract terms between the parties.
• Legal Research - You will support the team by undertaking legal research when asked to do so.  Reading and analysing vast amounts of information and breaking it down into manageable components is at the core of any legal career. When reviewing a file you will gather all the relevant facts and analyse the information you find in order to draft legal documents accurately.
• Process improvements - Nobody likes to repeat the same actions every day and click the same buttons, so our apprentices will be encouraged to get involved in efficiency improvements to see where administrative tasks can be automated or processes can be streamlined to free their time to get involved in more exciting projects
