Wrigleys is a specialist firm that concentrates on specific areas of law. We are always interested to hear from candidates who have a genuine interest in our firm, and in at least one of our specialisms.

We seek talented individuals to be our solicitors of the future. If you think you have what it takes to join our specialist firm of leading lawyers, please do contact us.

In the past, we have offered two or three training contracts per year to candidates under the Legal Practice Course route to qualification. We have always been flexible, in that we don’t simply recruit the ‘top two’ candidates who apply – instead we remain open-minded as to the numbers, and aim to recruit those candidates who embody our values and ways of working.

We plan to continue this pattern under the SQE route, so we now welcome applications from both SQE candidates and those under the transitional (LPC) arrangements. We do not have a set process for legal apprenticeships, but if that is the route you wish to take to solicitor qualification, and you think you could make your career at Wrigleys, please do apply.

We offer excellent training, and if you are an SQE candidate, we offer some financial support for the SQE – please see below.

Trainees at Wrigleys are given early responsibility and make an important contribution to our teams. We offer competitive trainee and NQ salaries, and we have excellent retention rates on qualification.

For our training contracts (i.e. transitional arrangement two-year ‘periods of recognised training’) we offer seats in three or four of the following areas:

Property

Private client, trusts, probate and tax planning

Pensions

Charities (including employment, company and commercial, social enterprise)

Court of Protection

Wrigleys undertakes no litigation or contentious work as such, but training and experience in contentious matters (as is required by the SRA Practice Skills Standards) is available through secondment to another firm.

For SQE candidates, we expect broadly to replicate the training contract, with seats as described above providing two years of qualifying work experience (QWE) with us. Our small recruitment intake will enable us to adapt to suit the experience, aspirations and interests of the individuals we recruit.

If you are entering the profession through the SQE route, we will require you to do up to the full two years’ QWE with us, and to attend an SQE preparatory course at a training provider of our choice. We expect this to be a one-year full-time Masters course delivered by a training provider of our choice. Subject to agreeing the detailed terms with you, Wrigleys will pay the cost of the SQE preparatory course and the cost of the SQE exams.

Individual differences are embraced at Wrigleys, and by putting people at the centre of we do, we strive to create an inclusive working environment in which colleagues feel supported and can be themselves.
