Aside from this there is a great deal of flexibility in where your training contract takes you. Within each seat you will be encouraged to take work from right across the department, ensuring you gain a breadth of experience in each area. Your final seat will normally be spent in your qualification department, meaning you have four months to settle in before starting your career as a newly qualified solicitor. Our trainees are given a large amount of responsibility and client contact early on and you will be supported by a qualified lawyer who will guide you through the start of your legal career.
