Since opening the Birmingham office in 2015, we’ve built a consistently profitable and strong legal capability, working in corporate, litigation, real estate, and real estate finance.
Over your 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.
Your seats will take place across a variety of practice groups within the Birmingham office. Each of these will last six months and will help you scope out where your interests lie and which area best matches your developing skill set.

We challenge conventional thinking and that often means doing work with little precedent. You’ll need to be ambitious and able to look beyond the obvious to deliver something unique and exceptional. We also look for a strong academic record from GCSE onwards up to a 2.1 across your degree and above (or equivalent).
Clients need us to be their trusted advisors across their business. You’ll need to be comfortable speaking their language and interested in how business works.
When working with clients it’s important to be able to communicate in both a clear and concise way. Good verbal and written communication skills are a big part of being a successful lawyer.
No one can do what we do alone. You’ll need to relish being part of a team, where everyone pitches in and achieves great things as a collective.
You’ll have a rigorous attention to detail, be calm in the face of complexity and deadlines and happy to put in extra hours if that’s what it takes to deliver exceptional work. You’ll need to be comfortable adapting to new surroundings, respond to cultural nuances and tackle the unpredictable with confidence.
Legal Practice Course (LPC)
All our trainee lawyers take the accelerated LPC at BPP University.
You’ll study in Birmingham and benefit from the social events and presentations we run at our Birmingham office.
Financial assistance*
We’ll pick up the bill for all your course fees. We’ll also pay you a maintenance grant of £7,000 to support you in your studies.
*We don’t offer retrospective funding though if you’ve started or completed the LPC before accepting an offer from us.
We ask you to submit just one training contract application per year, so we recommend that you apply to either Birmingham or London.
We currently recruit two trainees to our Birmingham office.
