Experience up to six key practice areas over the course of two years and enjoy all the support you need to qualify as a Solicitor.
Our Training Contract gives you the chance to experience up to six of our key practice areas for three to six months each.
Our rotation policy ensures you experience different areas of law, including contentious law and, because corporate work is at the heart of our Firm, you’ll also be encouraged to complete a transactional seat.
The programme begins with a three-day induction, but you’ll be exposed to live work and make a real contribution right from the start. Throughout your Training Contract, you’ll be able to call on the personal and professional support of both our Graduate Recruitment & Development and Leadership & Learning teams.
During each seat, you’ll get department-specific training and be assigned a supervisor who’ll mentor you and provide you with your daily workload which, while it will vary from department to department, will almost certainly include:
Every department has a Trainee Partner who will oversee your progress and ensure you are continually developing the appropriate skills and experience.
At the end of each seat, there’ll be an informal review of your progress and development. As you grow in experience, you’ll take on more and more responsibilities.
Overseas secondments
All Trainee Solicitors have the opportunity to apply for a three-month secondment at one of our international offices.
Qualification
Six months before your Trainee Contract ends, there will be a briefing session with the Graduate Recruitment team, which will outline the qualification process.
