Trainee Profile
Their high profile clients expect them to be brilliant, so they put a lot of effort into helping their people be the best they can throughout their careers – not just at the start of it. They foster the brightest and the best, with class-leading training and development programmes, and a unique climate of learning and discovery for everyone. They place value on individuals and respect their needs, motivations and choices. Their workplaces are designed to promote collaboration, often featuring open plan structures that make it easy to fit-in, mix and get involved. You’ll also find flexible and imaginative approaches to everyone’s work/life needs, with a connected infrastructure that is adaptive and tailored to bringing out the best in people. As a trainee, you’ll complete four seats: corporate or banking, real estate or tax, litigation, and one other. In each seat, a senior lawyer will supervise your day-to-day progress and give you regular feedback, so you know how you’re doing. They’re there to help you up your game. Every three months, you’ll have a formal progress review to help you track your development. Our trainees get lots of responsibility. And they find that it’s what differentiates their training contracts from others.
