The recruitment of trainee solicitors and their retention post qualification play an important role in the growth of our firm. We will therefore continue to offer a two year long ‘training contract’ providing the opportunity for trainees to experience up to four seats from the following departments. * Commercial real estate * Private client * Corporate * Commercial & dispute resolution (including employment & IP & family) * Charities * Education & ecclesiastical * Residential property Due to the nature of our programme we do anticipate that all candidates will complete a full two years with us. We therefore regret that we do not normally consider requests for time to count or QWE earned elsewhere for the purposes of our training contract. From the outset our trainees are given responsibility for their own files and immediate client contact. Working alongside a senior lawyer or Partner, trainees receive mentoring and support throughout their training contract. Our trainees play a pivotal role in small teams where expectations are high; because the teams are small, trainees are able to make a meaningful contribution both in each department seat and also within the firm as a whole. Our trainees participate in the marketing and business development of the firm and are encouraged to consider marketing initiatives for the department they work in and the firm as a whole. There are also plenty of opportunities to socialise with your colleagues in and outside of the office and we have an active social, sports and charity events calendar throughout the year. In addition to a competitive salary and benefits package we offer £10,000 towards course fees with further assistance discussed on a case by case basis.
