Training Contract – Spring/Summer 2021

Sorry, this vacancy is no longer available.

Your foundation for success.

We are interested in hearing from any aspiring Family or Estate Planning & Wealth Management lawyers seeking an opportunity at a firm where personal and professional development, mentoring and training are centre stage.

We are proud that many of our fantastic senior lawyers joined us at the start of their career and feel that our attitude to professional development is second to none.

During the two year training contract, you can expect:

  • Three separate training seats, coordinated from our Basingstoke, Ascot and Guildford offices, covering Family Law, Estate Planning & Wealth Management plus one additional training area.
  • To work alongside our team of expert lawyers and support staff and have genuine responsibility for client work.
  • To be paired with a dedicated supervisor for each of your training seats who will work one-to-one with you, guiding you on the core experiences and skills you will need to qualify as an expert in your field.

Applications welcomed from candidates with either a law or non-law background who have achieved (or expect to achieve) a 2:1 degree or higher, and who have successfully completed the Legal Practice Course. Prior experience in Family Law and/or Estate Planning & Wealth Management would be advantageous, and a genuine desire to qualify as a lawyer in either field is a necessity.

We welcome direct applicants, but also work with a small number of select recruitment agencies. We will not be liable for the recruitment agent's commission in the event that we are approached directly by a candidate whose CV was also sent to us speculatively by an agent we have not contracted with.
