Our traineeship will provide you with a structured programme designed to build your knowledge and experience over the 33 month programme.
We are looking for candidates who are bright and academically able, who can see both the big picture and pay attention to detail, who have excellent communication, interpersonal and analytical skills, and who will thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic and challenging team environment.
In return, we will give you a high level of responsibility within an environment that encourages and supports you as you reach the highest professional standards and develop both your technical skills and commercial instincts. You will be supported along your journey by our Professional Development, Knowledge and Library teams. Mentored by our partners, there will be plenty of opportunities to shine and to show that you want to become a leading lawyer.
From the outset, you will be working for high profile clients as a member of a team where each individual’s contribution is valued and encouraged. Our friendly open-door approach fosters learning and collaboration. It is a proven recipe for high achievement and makes for an exciting trainee experience.
