We are excited to be recruiting for our next cohort of trainees to join the firm for training contracts to commence in 2028 and 2029.
Typically, your two-year training contract will provide you with hands-on experience in a number of different areas of the law, one of them non-contentious. The training period will be split into four six-month placements.
For some part of your training contract, you may spend time at more than one of our office locations in order to give you experience of different types of clients and work. However, we do flex our training contracts to suit the needs of the business, and you as our trainee.
