Greenberg Traurig Maher (GTM) is set to take on trainee lawyers in the City, with the US firm aiming to boost its profile among UK undergraduates.

The firm, which launched in London in June 2009, will take on its first trainee intake in autumn 2011 and is intending to run annual intakes from then on. In the short term, GTM hopes to attract two trainees each year and will be targeting both law and non-law graduates.
