What do we offer you?
Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) If you have studied a non-law degree, you will need to complete the one year conversion course before commencing the LPC. If you need to undertake the GDL, we will support you no matter where you choose to study. Legal Practice Course (LPC) Our future trainees currently attend the LPC at BPP Law School at one of its many branches. The course is an MA (LPC with Business), which allows our trainees to convert the LPC to an MA qualification if they so wish. We have one compulsory elective, which is insurance, the other two electives are chosen by you with the guidance of the firm. This is to ensure that they are relevant and that you have the opportunity to convert what you have studied into a seat during your training contract. Fees and Maintenance We pay full fees for both the GDL and LPC, together with a maintenance grant for each year of study. We pay the maintenance grant in three equal instalments in September, January and April. Professional Skills Course (PSC) Your training contract with the firmwill commence in August. All of the London, Manchester and MENA trainees come to London to undertake an intensive three-week induction programme, which includes aspects of the PSC. This enables our trainees from across the globe to meet and get to know each other while we ensure that you are ready to begin your seats in September. The Training Contract Your induction programme will continue with on-the-job learning and experience throughout your seat. Additionally, you will be part of the firmwide and departmental training programmes, as well as the ongoing trainee specific training courses which build on the induction and PSC training.
In each seat you will be appointed a supervisor with whom you will sit. All supervisors are fully trained and aware of the obligations that need to be covered during the training contract. In order to ensure your progression you will have both a mid-seat and end-of-seat appraisal with your supervisor. In addition you will be required to keep a Training Diary via our Online Mentor system. Both the appraisals and Online Mentor are valuable when it comes to making decisions about future seats and
tracking your progress to qualification. Beyond the Training Contract
