Our scheme provides the opportunity to gain experience in multiple disciplines. We tailor your training contract and decide your training seats based on business needs, trainee preference and potential availability of roles within the firm on qualification.

We welcome applicants who have attained their LPC qualification or have passed the newer route: both stages of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), this comprises the SQE1 and 2 assessments.

We run an internal process for support staff and paralegal employees seeking to undertake a solicitor apprenticeship prior to taking their SQE assessments; this route is not currently open to external applications.
