June 11, 2010 — Vinson & Elkins was named winner of the "Best Trainer – US Firm in the City" category at the Lawcareers.net Training and Recruitment Awards. Lawcareers.net is a prominent UK-based legal careers website. The awards, which recognize the best recruiters and trainers among law firms, are based on a survey of nearly 3,000 trainee and newly qualified solicitors in the UK.

LawCareers.Net publisher Matthew Broadbent said, "The last year has been a particularly tough one for those joining or trying to join the legal profession. It is fantastic that there are beacons of excellence in all areas and branches of the law that take the training and recruitment of new members of their community seriously. A career in law is a continuously evolving journey of learning, experience and knowledge. Those who are trained to the highest standard and are recruited on the basis of employers' clear-headed identification of potential that is worth nurturing have the best chance of thriving and dealing with everything that such a career throws at them. All the winning organizations should be proud of themselves."
