How to apply for our Training Contract

At Michelmores, there are two ways to secure a training contract: through our assessment day route or by completing our vacation scheme. It’s important to choose the option that’s right for you — we don’t have a preference between the two. In both processes, we’re looking for candidates who show future potential, adaptability, proactivity, and curiosity. You’ll go through the same recruitment assessments, and the standard we expect is the same, no matter which route you choose. Our assessment day route Our ‘assessment day’ route, does not include work experience at the Firm. This route is great for those who know they want to pursue a career in law, have previous legal experience and/or are confident that Michelmores is the right firm for them. It is also a good option for people who are unable to dedicate a week to attend our vacation scheme. Our vacation scheme option Our vacation scheme is a week-long opportunity to experience our firm and culture first hand, valuable insight into Michelmores, our people, and the work we do — helping you decide if we’re the right firm for your Training Contract.

Our week explained You can choose to spend the week at our Bristol of Exeter office. The scheme takes place in June. During the week you will: • Work within one of our legal teams, gaining an insight into the type of work the team does, and our clients. • Complete a group project with fellow vacation schemers, designed to help you network across Michelmores, conduct research, and deliver a presentation. • Attend workshops and talks aimed at building your understanding of Michelmores and legal skills. • Enjoy opportunities to meet our colleagues during our networking evening and organised trainee lunch. You’ll complete an assessment day, with the possibility of being offered a training contract at the end of the week You will be paid the Real Living Wage The week is focused on you gaining a better understanding of who we are and if we are the firm for you, just as much as it is about us getting to know you and seeing if you’re the right addition to our firm.
