Davitt Jones Bould is a forward-thinking commercial law practice where substance and client service converge. We've built a reputation for delivering sharp, pragmatic advice across corporate, real estate, and dispute resolution-the kind of work that shapes business outcomes. Our City of London base puts us at the heart of the market, yet our culture remains grounded: we value clarity over jargon, collaboration over hierarchy, and genuine expertise over mere seniority.
This Graduate Trainee role in Commercial Conveyancing offers something increasingly rare—the chance to specialise early and develop real depth in a practice area that sits at the intersection of property law and complex commercial negotiation. You'll join a team handling high-value transactions, property finance structures, and cross-border real estate matters for institutional clients, private equity houses, and major corporates. Working part-time allows you to balance hands‑on legal work with further study or broader professional development, whether that's completing your LPC, pursuing the new Solicitors Qualifying Exam route, or deepening your understanding of the commercial property market itself.
Day‑to‑day, you'll work on transaction documents including purchase agreements, leases, and security documents, carrying out due diligence reviews, liaising with counterparties and third parties, and supporting fee earners through deal completion. You'll learn to navigate title issues, planning considerations, and the subtle art of commercial negotiation—understanding not just what the law says, but what deal‑breakers matter in practice. Our team mentors actively; you won't be left running searches in isolation. Instead, you'll sit alongside experienced conveyancers, absorbing how commercial property deals actually work, why certain clauses matter, and how to spot issues before they become problems.
Progression within our firm is earned through demonstrable competence and commitment. Trainees who develop expertise and show sound judgment move naturally into more complex, higher‑value work. We've promoted trainees to fee‑earning positions where they've built their own client relationships and practice. The foundation you build in Commercial Conveyancing—understanding property rights, commercial structures, and negotiation dynamics—opens doors across the profession, whether you remain in real estate or pivot toward corporate or finance work.
