Careers
The company pays special attention to career advancement and professional growth. At the same time, much depends on the employee himself. When an employee aspires to grow, he places specific goals for himself and works to achieve them, and the company helps his development in every way.
We are proud of our employees; many of them started their careers at CLS and were able to work their way up to high positions.
From paralegal to partner in 7 years
“I joined our firm in 2005, right out of college, and so I know very well how work at CLS is structured and what it entails at all levels – from paralegal to partner.
I can say without exaggeration that each person in our firm has excellent opportunities for professional growth and development.
The main thing is to put brave and ambitious goals before yourself, steadily go toward them, while earnestly wanting to learn something new and not being afraid of possible difficulties, approach your work responsibly and seriously and, of course, truly love what you do!”

From junior associate to head of practice in 4 years
“I joined the company in 2014. It was the first consulting firm I came to 5 years after graduating from the University. At the time, it seemed to me that only careerists work in consulting, who do not take into account the interests of others. I was surprised to find myself in a large family, in which my colleagues treat each other with respect and due care. Moreover, the company provides every opportunity for growth. If a lawyer is pro-active, wants to grow and develop, has the desire to teach his younger colleagues, the company and senior colleagues will fully support their growth.
So I have grown from junior associate to head of practice in 4 years; and I work in a team of like-minded people who can both cooperate on a complex project and celebrate a professional victory all together, enjoying each of these processes. In my opinion, this is how a real legal consulting firm should be built! ”

From junior associate to head of group in 3.5 years
«Work at Capital Legal Services has become a unique opportunity for me to systematize the experience gained earlier, to deepen it and to direct it at further development. I can say with certainty that the company is open to mutually beneficial cooperation with its lawyers, which makes it an excellent platform for implementing the most ambitious professional ideas»
