In 2023 we will be running our annual summer recruitment to find our future trainees.
We are looking to recruit for 2024 and 2025 trainee solicitors over summer 2023. The application form will close at midday on 23 June 2023.
All application forms are read by at least two members of the graduate recruitment team and are compared against our minimum criteria. We set our minimum criteria for potential applicants based on their academic achievements: you should have very good results at GCSE or its equivalent (or a minimum of ABB at A level or equivalent) have no less than 128 UCAS points (or their equivalent, this is 320 UCAS points in the old tariff) at one sitting and a 2.1 degree at university (or be on course for a 2.1 degree). We recognise that not all applicants fulfil these criteria; however you should only apply if you have other strong qualities.
Successful applicants will be contacted shortly after the deadline date and will be interviewed during the beginning of July with an associate or senior associate and a member of the human resources team.
Following the first interview, successful candidates will be invited back to attend the second stage of the recruitment process. The second interview process is carried out over two days, during which you will meet various members of the firm and to get a feel of life as a trainee at RBG Legal Services Limited. This also includes lunch with the trainees and dinner with the partners and fee-earners, giving us the opportunity to get to know you better, and for you to get to know us. During the two days you will also be assessed during a number of activities, including team and individual exercises. You will also be given a topic and asked to give a presentation to a small panel on your last day.
We normally make our offers within two weeks of the second interview process. During the next two years we continue to keep in contact with our future trainees and invite them to our Christmas party and other social events.
