Training programme

Our recruitment and training philosophy is very simple: our continued success as a firm depends on our ability to attract and retain the brightest and most able people. We require every prospective trainee solicitor to undertake the accelerated LPC at BPP London. The course will prepare you for practice in the City.

Our two-year training contract is split into four six-month seats. As a trainee, you will move around four different practice areas during this time, to gain as much experience as possible - one of your seats will be in either our corporate or finance group, and another in one of our litigation teams. You will also have the option of spending time in the second year of training on secondment to one of our international offices or to the in-house legal team of a major client.

As a trainee at Hogan Lovells, you will be offered as much responsibility as you can handle relating to client work as well as a comprehensive legal skills training programme, regular reviews and appraisals. After qualification continuous training and development remain a priority - we enable the brightest minds to deepen their professional and business expertise throughout their career, which enhances the quality of advice we provide to clients, our reputation and your ability to make the very best of your expertise.
