Training Contract - March 2028

Hogan Lovells have training contract opportunities available in London commencing in March 2028.

During your two-year training contract, you’ll rotate through four different seats. You’ll build on your skills as you go, learning how to deliver level-headed advice to clients and deepen your commercial instincts and sector expertise. Two of your seats will be in one of our corporate and finance groups and another in one of our litigation teams. For your third or fourth seat, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for a secondment in one of our global offices or directly inside a client’s business. Each of these seats will last six months and will help you scope out where your interests lie and which area best matches your developing skill set.

Before you get started with your seats, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive one-week induction. You’ll learn skills that will underpin your personal growth and professional success for years to come. We’ll help you prepare for your first seat so you can dive straight in.
You’ll also complete our award-winning HL BaSE training, a mini-MBA style course for our trainees to develop your commercial skills and social impact.
