For the ambitious graduate wishing to train as a commercial lawyer, we offer trainees first-rate work in an informative, challenging and busy atmosphere where your contribution counts from day one.

We require approximately 30 exceptional trainee solicitors each year to contribute to our future growth in our London office.

Training programme

We handle only commercial matters, both contentious and non-contentious. We offer training in company, commercial and finance, commercial litigation, employment, media, energy trade & commodities, shipping and property law, and in the business skills essential to success as a solicitor.

Minimum Qualifications

Strong academic qualifications including a 2.1 degree or the equivalent (any discipline). We take a flexible approach and are willing to progress candidates whose application otherwise demonstrates first-rate personal qualities and experience.

When and how to apply

Apply by the 31st July two years prior to the year of commencement of the training contract.  Please note that due to the deferral of trainee solicitor start dates, the August 2011 intake is now full.  We are still recruiting for February 2012 but there will be limited availability.
