Top Tips for our Prospective Trainees

Picking the right firm to begin your legal career is one of the most important decisions you will make. We recognise the value in investing in our trainees. Here’s what you can expect from your training experience at the firm.

1. Broad range of practice areas

We offer an extensive variety of practice areas. Whether you have an interest in corporate law, litigation, or other key sectors, you’ll have the chance to explore different departments.

2. Internship as a preview

The internship programme serves as an excellent introduction to the life as a trainee. It’s a hands-on experience where you get a feel for the firm’s working culture and the various departments you might work in. The transition from intern to trainee feels seamless, and by the time you qualify, you’ll be confident and prepared to practice as a lawyer.

3. Structured trainee process

The trainee programme here is designed with progression in mind. While trainees rotate through the different departments, they learn directly from experienced lawyers. This exposure, combined with the opportunity to work with market-leading clients, gives trainees a comprehensive understanding of the legal landscape. This approach ensures that by the end of your traineeship, you are well-rounded, with experience across various departments.

4. Unmatched support

One of the most striking aspects of training here is the exceptional level of support. From support staff to senior partners, everyone is committed to helping trainees grow and succeed. The firm prides itself on fostering a culture of approachability, where everyone is willing to assist and guide you. This inclusive environment makes working at the firm not only easier but also more enjoyable.

5. Work-life balance

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is a priority here. The team respects your time, and support is always available to ensure you can enjoy your annual leave without worrying about work. The firm encourages its trainees to recharge and come back refreshed, ready to tackle new challenges.

We are proud to say we typically retain over 90% of our trainees as solicitors. Find out more about our internship.
