Trainee Solicitor

We are currently seeking trainees for our London Office, to join us in September 2019.  We are seeking ambitious, talented, highly-motivated and commercially aware trainees who are aiming to establish a career with us and who demonstrates potential to be a Partner of the future. 

We offer an exciting and comprehensive programme over two years, with a variety of seats across a varied range of our practice areas. You will experience three to four seats, usually on a six month rotation basis, with access to a mixture of contentious and non-contentious work. You will be closely supervised and mentored throughout the training period, with regular informal and more formal update and appraisal meetings. These meetings will enable you continuously to review your progress and to raise and discuss any skills you need to develop, as well as your future objectives. This will ensure you get the best out of your training and that you end the two years with a clear idea of where and how you want to specialise.

You will have a good first degree, in law or another relevant subject, such as history, English etc. with a minimum 2:1 classification, or a GDL/Master’s degree, again at a high academic standard. You will also ideally have completed or be studying towards the LPC.

Relevant work experience as a paralegal or in a business support role in a similar organisation will also be of benefit and we are also interested in ‘career changers’, from accountancy or banking backgrounds, for example.

We encourage applications from candidates with disabilities (reasonable adjustments will be made during the recruitment process and beyond).
