ACHIEVE YOUR POTENTIAL
Our people enjoy continuous opportunities for best-in-class learning and professional development, tailored to their individual needs.
We support our lawyers in their development as well-rounded international arbitration lawyers, through hands-on advocacy training, regular practical instruction, ongoing feedback, and dedicated mentorship from leaders in the field. Just as our clients value the independence of our advice, we value critical input from all our lawyers in any task we undertake.
Our bespoke learning and development programme, ‘Growing the 3C Way’, is designed to create an environment that distinguishes Three Crowns from other firms. The programme encompasses technical skills, such as advocacy and drafting, client skills, and effective business development. It also develops the essential ‘softer’ skills required to manage client and colleague relationships, and cases, effectively and efficiently.
In our view. excellence comes not from thick manuals, unnecessary face time, or excessive hours, but from giving talented and motivated individuals space to do their work to the best of their abilities.
