Build Your Legal Career With Us

Why Join Abdullah & Partners

Our lawyers handle the full spectrum of matters that a modern Jordanian law firm is asked to resolve: cross-border transactions, international arbitration, complex commercial and criminal litigation, regulatory investigations, real-estate and construction disputes, inheritance matters, and the day-to-day counsel that keeps businesses running. From the first week, associates and trainees work directly with partners on live files, drafting, researching, attending hearings, and meeting clients. We invest in the people we hire because the quality of our advice depends entirely on the quality of the lawyers delivering it.

We are currently recruiting in two tracks: experienced lawyers seeking to join as associates or senior associates, and trainees and interns at the start of their legal careers. Each track has distinct requirements, set out below in full. For quick answers to common questions about applications, eligibility, and the trainee program, see our frequently asked questions.

Trainees & Interns

Our trainee and intern program is designed for candidates at the start of their legal careers, law students in their final year and recent graduates preparing for admission to the Jordanian Bar Association. Trainees work alongside associates and partners on real files, with structured supervision, written feedback, and a rotation across practice groups. It is the most direct path into the firm, and a significant share of our current associates began with us as trainees.

Applications that do not meet every requirement below will not be reviewed. There are no exceptions.

• University degree certificate. Applicants must attach an official copy of their LLB degree certificate from a recognized university, or, for final-year students, an official letter from the university confirming enrollment and expected graduation date, together with an up-to-date academic transcript.

• English language proficiency. Proficiency in the English language is a mandatory requirement for all trainee applications. Candidates should be able to read legal materials, attend meetings, and draft correspondence in English.
