Trainee Solicitors
We take both law and non-law graduates as trainee solicitors. You will spend up to 18 months in the department to which you have been recruited as a trainee solicitor. The balance of your training will be with another department(s), to be agreed with you and subject to the training meeting the Law Society's requirements for your training contract.

The qualities we look for in trainees are academic excellence, sound judgement and the ability to get on well with both clients and colleagues. At an early stage in your training you will have client contact, and be expected to accept responsibility for your own work, although this will be under qualified supervision.

Future Training Contracts and How to Apply
We are not planning to recruit further trainee solicitors for 2008 having completed recruitment of a new trainee for our Litigation Department for this year.

Recruitment for 2009 will be announced later this year.

Our normal closing date for applications is 31st August. Application is by letter and CV (or e-mail) addressed to the Training Principal, Philippa Rudd.

Work Experience & Summer / Holiday Work
We work with the "Connections" for secondary school level work experience and all requests should be sent the Office Administrator.

For university level work experience or holiday employment please write or email the Office Administrator. The availability of such work varies depending upon the firm's work requirements and the availability of qualified staff to give appropriate supervision.
