Where your legal career truly begins
We believe in developing lawyers who think commercially, act with empathy, and lead with purpose. Across two years, you’ll complete four six-month seats in different areas of law. Each one is designed to challenge your thinking, refine your skills, and immerse you in real client work from day one.
You’ll gain:
-
Hands-on responsibility that matters
-
Client exposure that builds your confidence
-
Mentorship from expert and award-winning lawyers
-
Structured learning that goes way beyond the classroom
-
A culture that supports your wellbeing as much as your success
-
Our training contract is your launchpad into a bold, rewarding legal career.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for great people who are curious, collaborative, and commercially aware. People who care about doing great work – and doing it the right way.
Ambitious people thrive here because we work in an enterprising, supportive, and inclusive environment. You’ll be encouraged to take initiative from day one, contribute meaningfully to your team, and grow in a firm that values individuality as much as intellect.
We welcome applicants from all degree disciplines and universities, including career changers. We know that real-world experience and diverse perspectives make our teams stronger.
What you'll experience
There are no compulsory seats, but your four rotations will cover at least one contentious and one non-contentious area. We’ll make sure your training meets all the requirements set by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and The Law Society in your jurisdiction.

Work & home that works together
We understand that life doesn’t always align into a nine-to-five. That’s why we offer adaptable working options and are open to reasonable requests that help you do your best work.
What you’ll need before you start
Our training contracts run full-time for two years. You’ll need to have completed the LPC or SQE (for England) or the Diploma (for Scotland) before you start.
If you’re a non-law graduate, you’ll also need to complete the PGDL (England) or the Accelerated LLB (Scotland). We provide funding support towards postgraduate studies.
You can find the current trainee salary and further details on our FAQ page.
