Our training contract is designed to offer you the breadth of experience and training needed to become a multi‑specialist, equipped to advise on a broad range of legal matters. You will be given responsibility from an early stage and the opportunity to work alongside partners, who, together with other team members in the firm, provide mentoring and individual support.
All of our trainees complete at least two six‑month seats in our Corporate and M&A and Financing groups. Subject to gaining some contentious experience, your remaining time can be divided into two or three specialist areas or focused on one. Our overseas offices and close working relationships with market‑leading law firms in other jurisdictions mean there are also opportunities for trainees to apply for a secondment in their second year; this can either be an international secondment (to destinations such as Paris, Amsterdam, New York and Hong Kong) or a client secondment located in and around London.

For our training contracts, we are looking for law and non‑law candidates with a good 2:1 at undergraduate level. Our trainees come from a range of universities – it is the quality of the candidate, not the university that is important to us. Across all of our opportunities, we are looking for candidates with:
- Sharp intellect
- Drive and an interest in commercial law
- Commercial awareness
- Communication and interpersonal skills
- Resilience and resolve
- Independent thought and curiosity
- A range of interests outside of the law
