2027 Training Contract

About our training contracts

We’re a firm with a shared purpose, and we’re driven by our values to create positive impact environmentally, socially and for our clients and colleagues.

When you join us, you’ll be ready and willing to bring your ideas and be the best of version of yourself.

We’re looking for future lawyers who understand the work we undertake, the clients we work for and our values, and who are passionate about our principles. We encourage candidates with a range of outside work interests, which we’d like to see maintained and developed over the coming years. If this sounds like you and you are also a good communicator who can demonstrate academic potential please get in touch.

Finding and developing home-grown talent is important to us. We recruit six trainees each year and look to retain all of them at the end of their training contracts where possible.

We are happy to consider applications for part-time training contracts. Please use the dedicated space on the application form to let us know if you would like to train part-time.

Trainee seats

Over the two years of the training, you’ll complete four seats of six months each.

Trainees must complete a seat in our Charity and Social Enterprise department during their training contract. Other seats available include: Corporate & Commercial, Dispute Resolution, Employment, Immigration, Public & Regulatory and Real Estate.

As a trainee, you will have the opportunity to input into the seat allocation process throughout the two years, which provides excellent flexibility during your training. We’ll work with you to help you choose the seats that will best prepare you for your future career.

You’ll have a dedicated supervisor in each seat, who’ll make sure your work is relevant and varied, with plenty of training and support. At the interim and final appraisals for each seat, your supervisor will give feedback on your performance and set objectives for the next stage.

How the application process works

All applications for training contracts and vacation schemes should be made via our website. Please do not apply for more than one position. Your application for a vacation scheme will also be considered as your training contract application. By applying, you are confirming that you are eligible to begin training with us in 2027. We are following the SQE route to qualification, but if you have already completed or are currently working towards the LPC, you are still eligible to apply.
