Who should apply There is no such thing as a typical Freeths candidate. So if you are a bright and talented individual who will make a real difference to our firm over the coming years then we are interested in your application. We are flexible in our approach to finding the best talent hence we have no minimum criteria and we welcome applications from both law and non-law students and from those who have already graduated or completed either their LPC or GDL. Training programme At Freeths we “think differently” and this also applies to the flexible graduate programmes we offer. We believe that it is your career therefore you should be the one to choose how it starts. So if you prefer to focus on gaining valuable work experience prior to commencing either your LPC or training contract, then our legal assistant foundation programme could be for you.
