TRAINING CONTRACTS

Our training contracts are designed to help you maximise your potential as quickly as possible. We encourage you to achieve more, faster, by giving you constant exposure to the very highest calibre of work whilst ensuring you are given personal mentoring and support. The trust we have in our trainees, their capabilities and their curiosity is pivotal to their success, and we know that a good idea can come from anyone. Our partners, counsel and associates work directly with trainees and respect the skills and viewpoints they bring to the table – putting them in real deals, for real clients, as soon as they are able. This is a chance for you to define how quickly you progress. We create opportunities, but it is your initiative and proactive attitude that counts. Be in the fast lane

We take an open and transparent approach to progression, with a structure that makes sure you get the best start to your legal career. The firm welcomes candidates from all universities and all degree disciplines: we want you to be yourself.

During your training contract, you will complete four seats of six months each. The seats you undertake will depend on your own personal preferences and development needs, and may include a secondment to our Hong Kong, Paris or New York offices.

In each of your four seats, you will work alongside your supervisor, which means you will always have someone to guide you in your day-to-day work. In each seat you will have a mid-seat and end-of-seat performance review to help you identify areas of strength as well as areas for development. You will also receive plenty of real-time feedback. The mentoring and support you receive as a Weil trainee aims to give you the tools you need to progress and reach your goals. You will be allocated a Trainee Responsible Partner, who will be your go-to for mentoring and advice throughout the full two years of your training. This is just one of the many ways we make sure you get the most out of your training contract. Our support programmes: • Trainee Responsible Partner • Trainee mentors • 1-2-1 coaching • Performance review system
