London Training Contract 2027

Each year, we take on up to 50 graduates (from law and non-law degree subjects) as trainee solicitors. All our trainees will start by successfully completing the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), with those from non-law backgrounds having first gained a Law Foundation Course. Our bespoke and market-leading City Consortium Solicitor Training Programme will provide you with everything you need to prepare and succeed.

With these qualifications in hand, you’ll then join us for two years of training: doing four six-month seats across our different practice groups. Plus, for one of those seats, you’ll have the chance to apply for an international or client secondment. Throughout, you’ll enjoy expert guidance and advice, comprehensive legal skills training, and regular reviews.

As one of the world’s largest and most established law firms, we tackle fascinating and complex legal issues for our clients. So, we look for intellectually curious, collaborative and determined individuals from all kinds of backgrounds and with all kinds of experience. An excellent academic record is important: you should have, or be on track for, a good 2:1 or above in your degree. You must also be the kind of person who adapts well to new situations, delivers on their promises and has the creativity to take ideas in new directions. Above all, you must be able to work well with others and build lasting relationships with colleagues and clients alike.

The power to shape your future, and ours.
