Maples Group Connects with Cayman Islands Law Students at Early Careers Mixer
For over 20 years, the Maples Group has recognised the importance of ensuring team members and the legal workforce have the opportunity to learn, thrive and excel. The Early Careers Programmes, inclusive of articled clerkships, internships and scholarships, foster this supportive and structured environment for young professionals and those seeking a legal-focused career.

As part of a series of collaborative events, the Group hosted an Early Careers Mixer on 5 February, which was open to students of all education levels and faculty of the Cayman Islands’ Truman Bodden Law School (“TBLS”). The evening was an occasion to meet Maples Group partners, TBLS alumni and recent participants of the Group’s various programmes, as well as members of the firm’s Early Careers Committee, including Global Managing Partner, Jonathan Green, and Managing Partner of the Cayman Islands office, Michael Richardson. These events serve as a platform for the Group to establish a bond with future talent who may qualify for the Group’s scholarship, internship and legal training programmes.
“Connecting with TBLS students and faculty aligns with goals set out in our Early Careers Programmes. Our events are curated to create meaningful opportunities for students to engage with members of our Firm, ask questions and gain insight into the many pathways available at the Maples Group, and get a sense of the Firm’s culture” noted Anjuli Muttoo, Learning and Development Lead for the Cayman office. “It’s inspiring to see their enthusiasm as they take an active role in shaping their legal careers, and even more rewarding when those familiar faces later walk our office hallways as colleagues.
“Experiences like these underscore the value of investing in our Early Careers initiatives, and we are truly grateful to Rhian Minty and Mitchell Davies and the team at TBLS for partnering with us to support the next generation of legal professionals,” she added.
Other key employees from the Group’s HR team, as well as past legal scholars, current Articled Clerks and Partners were present to share their experiences and insights. Over the years these programmes have benefitted many young Caymanians, many of whom are currently at the Maples Group in roles ranging from Junior Secretary, Secretary, Articled Clerk and Partner.
Among the Firm’s early career-focused initiatives, the Articles of Clerkship programme offers a comprehensive pathway for aspiring lawyers to gain practical experience and develop their legal careers. Participants of the programme benefit from a personalised mentorship approach, supportive work environment, practical skill development, and networking opportunities.
Applications are accepted year-round at any point in a student’s educational journey.
