Training Contract
During your two-year training contract you will have the opportunity to experience four different six-month seats. This will include one contentious and one non-contentious seat. In your remaining seats you may have the opportunity to work in one of our specialist groups.
There is an excellent induction programme to familiarise you with the core areas of work. Because of the limited number of training contracts offered, you can expect high-quality work with early responsibility.
In each seat a partner or experienced solicitor will personally supervise your work, although you are likely to be working with a number of fee earners in each department.You may be given your own files to run under supervision from day one, or you may be involved in larger transactions as part of a team.
Practical Training
The Firm has a wide-ranging and comprehensive learning and development programme and provides internal workshops in addition to the Professional Skills course.
You will meet with your supervisor and fellow trainees regularly. This ensures that you receive continuous support and enables you to have open discussion about transactions, research and points of law.
You will also play an active role in the Firm’s client events programme which provides early client contact. There is the opportunity to hear renowned speakers on a multitude of topics and exposure to areas of law in which you may not have initially thought to specialise.
Trainee performance is monitored closely and you can expect to receive regular feedback.
