Pupillage programme Matrix offers up to two traineeships, both starting 1 October for 12 months. The 12-month training period is split roughly into quarters. The training committee tends to choose who will supervise in the first quarter while trainees are finding their feet, but trainees are consulted through- out on which areas of law they would be interested in covering. It is expected that trainees will experience the wide range of work covered at Matrix with seats in varied practice areas throughout the year. There is a scheduled programme of training that includes internal and external training, written and advocacy exercises and possible secondments. Matrix trainees do not generally take on oral advocacy in their own right until the last quarter. When and how to apply Please check our website for information on how to apply for a traineeship. Mini-pupillages We currently do not offer mini-pupillages, but for up-to-date information and details on opportunities available and how to apply please visit the ‘recruitment’ section of our website at www.matrixlaw.co.uk/recruitment. Sponsorship/funding Matrix offers up to two 12-month training places with an award of £50,000 and an additional £10,000 contribution during the BPTC year for applicants who are yet to undertake Bar finals.
