We seek trainees who have an excellent prior academic record along with strong academic credentials, including a projected or achieved first or upper-second class honours degree, or the equivalent. Most important, however, are your values. You should possess genuine intellectual curiosity, integrity, strong interpersonal skills, commercial awareness and an ambition to succeed at one of the world’s leading law firms.

We expect most of our applicants to be penultimate-year law students and final-year non-law students. Graduates and post-graduates are also eligible.

We will offer our trainees the opportunity to do superior work, meet exceptional people and grow in a supportive culture. We aim to distinguish our trainee programme by offering genuine mentoring from partners and other senior lawyers who will take a keen interest in your career development.

Training contracts with S&C are divided into at least four seats – two six-month seats during your first year of training and we will consider three four-month seats during your second year of training. You will be supervised in each seat by a partner who is a leader in his or her field, along with other senior lawyers. They will provide the guidance you need to help you make the transition from academic study to legal practice.

In addition to offering the most attractive trainee salary and benefits package of any major law firm in London, we will cover PGDL/LPC/SQE fees for prospective trainees who accept our offer of a training contract. We will also pay a maintenance grant, currently £17,000 per annum.
