The firm At Russell-Cooke we’re not tied to process, we’re not bound by departments or fixated on job titles. We are a team of lawyers who take a more thoughtful, more rigorous, more collaborative approach to training, to practising law and to working with our clients. We think carefully about what kind of law firm we want to be and the type of work we take on. We’re not driven by profit alone: we’re committed to publicly-funded work (not just a little pro bono for show). And we do the right thing by our people, too: we’re proud to offer a better work-life balance alongside high-level legal work. We’re pragmatic and thorough, and we’re not bound by a set process or formulaic way of working. We think ahead and we work together – with our clients and each other – to give the best advice. Types of work We believe we offer the most broad-based training contract. We act for individuals (ranging from individuals desperate for a legal remedy where a positive outcome will be life-changing to royal families, Russian oligarchs and celebrities) and for companies (ranging from start-ups to household names) as well as charities and social businesses. Seats are generally available in crime, family, personal injury, corporate and commercial, employment, litigation, real estate, housing and much more. Who should apply You’re a quick learner with strong academic results (two As and a B at A level and a 2.1 in your degree). You’re used to working – and thinking – independently. You also enjoy working as part of a team. You’re happy taking on responsibility from day one. You thrive on a challenge. Training programme We have a wide variety of seats on offer and we will work with you to accommodate your preferences where possible. We choose a small cohort of trainees so that there is plenty of opportunity for you to manage your own caseload and get a high level of client contact from your first seat. You will be fully supported by your supervisor and by internal and external training. When and how to apply You should apply before 30 June 2020 at www.russell-cooke.co.uk/trainees for training contracts beginning in September 2022. Sponsorship We’ll pay you a capped sponsorship of up to £10,000 for LPC fees. We also offer an interest-free loan of up to £5,000 repayable from your trainee salary over a two-year period.
