We recruit from a wide range of universities, taking both law and non-law graduates who have achieved a degree at 2.1 level or above.

Applicants should be commercially aware and demonstrate a keen interest in our work. They will also be proactive, enthusiastic and have a sense of humour. A career with Peters & Peters will be both exciting and challenging, but we require individuals who are tenacious, driven and committed to taking on a steep learning curve. In return you will benefit from early responsibility, a rewarding career, plenty of support and the opportunity to carry out high quality and stimulating legal work. Training programme As a trainee you will spend time within our two departments (business crime and commercial litigation/civil fraud) and will also have the opportunity to experience a different area of law through an external secondment. The firm deliberately has a small trainee intake to ensure quality training, exposure to a wide range of practice areas and to maintain our excellent trainee retention rates. Peters & Peters is a friendly firm, with a supportive culture and regular social and CSR activities. We value our trainees highly and make every effort to assist them in becoming fully integrated into the firm.
