Training contract

Our recruitment and training philosophy is very simple: our success as a firm depends on our ability to attract and retain the brightest and most able people.

Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) If you are a non-law student your training will begin with the GDL. We require all our future trainee solicitors to study the GDL in Leeds, London or Manchester.

Legal Practice Course (LPC) We require every prospective trainee solicitor to undertake the accelerated LPC at BPP London. The course will prepare you for practice in the City.

Training Contract Our two-year training contract is split into four six-month periods. As a trainee, you will move around the firm during this time, with each six-month period known as a ‘seat’. Further information on the training contract.

How to apply From 1 October 2011 we are recruiting up to 75 trainee solicitors for our August 2014 and February 2015 intakes.
