What can you apply for?

Law students As a law student you can apply for a vacation scheme and training contract during your penultimate or final year. This means you will have time to complete the final year of your degree and the SQE before you start with us.

Other students 50% of our trainee intakes studied another subject at undergraduate level. In which case, you can apply for a place on our vacation scheme or for a training contract from your final year. This will give you the chance to complete the PGDL and the SQE before you start with us.

Graduates/Career changes Once you have graduated you can apply for a vacation scheme or training contract at any time.

We run a number of events aimed at anyone interested in a career in law. From your first year at university, you can apply to attend a presentation evening, open day, or one of our ‘Food for thought’ networking and information sessions. You can find out more information and apply here . Insight events

The Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) is the new route to qualification and consists of a series of exams that were introduced in from September 2021. These will replace the need to complete the GDL and LPC. Our 2024 trainee intake will be our first intake of trainees to qualify through the new route to qualification. All trainees joining us in September 2024 and beyond will need to take the SQE. Anyone joining us before this point will continue with the existing route.
