Career
Paths

We are not able to offer work experience outside of the placement dates detailed. We require all applicants to complete the application form below.




Work Experience


Applications now closed. Check back for future opportunities


You will gain experience in Conveyancing, Private Client, Litigation and Family. You will be given a brief induction on your first day and provided with any equipment you need for the week to complete any relevant work. Where possible you will be able to sit in on client meetings and you will also have the opportunity to carry out legal work and use our case management system. We will provide you with a written portfolio to take away with you to confirm the experience you have gained during the week and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions or provide any feedback.

Training Contracts/QWE


We are currently accepting applications for Training Contracts or Qualifying Work Experience for candidates that have completed either the LPC or SQE.

Applications are open until the end of June. Successful applicants will be contacted for an interview to take place in July.

We pride ourselves on offering Trainee Solicitors the opportunity to learn within a supportive environment. Our intention is to ensure our Trainees qualify with all the knowledge and experience they need for a successful career in law and more importantly with a desire to stay and continue to grow within our firm. Many of our current Directors started as Trainees at the firm and to date we have always offered a contract of employment to those that complete their Training Contract with us.
We usually offer three seats to our Trainee solicitors undertaking both contentious and non-contentious work within areas such as Conveyancing, Private Client, Litigation and Family. We aim to provide a flexible approach that allows our Trainees to gain more experience within departments that they enjoy, have a particular interest in and show an aptitude for. We would hope you complete your final few months of training in the area you will look to qualify into.
We are passionate about offering a personal service to the local community and as a Trainee there are likely to be several opportunities to be involved in local charity events and fundraising alongside your legal training.
