London Training Contract

Over the two years, you’ll rotate around four six-month seats (placements) and get to work on the most complex transactions for the world’s leading banks, corporates and financial sponsors. There's no substitute for the depth and quality of insight that comes from spending six months in a department. Whilst you will be based in London, there will also be the chance to go on an international or client secondment. And at the end of your Training Contract, you'll be able to make a well-informed decision about where to start your career.

In each department, you'll sit with a Principal (a senior lawyer), who is on hand to train and supervise. A Group Trainee Solicitor Partner will also give you additional support. With ongoing feedback, you'll have ample opportunity to discuss progress with the Trainee Development Team and draw up a training plan. And as you define your interests, you'll also have the flexibility to change your preference as you go. You'll also benefit from world-class seminars and training modules that are specific to your seat and practice area.
