TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT & SUPPORT

Our trainee development programme is designed to create well-rounded individuals who have developed the skills and expertise to qualify as exceptional lawyers. We believe that providing the right support is crucial for development and therefore offer support from the point of offer and a tailored development programme throughout the two years of training. Before joining the Firm all trainees are paired with a buddy and are invited to attend regular Michelmores social events and a pre-induction day. Upon joining, trainees receive a thorough induction, covering everything from systems to marketing, finance and personal wellbeing. During each of the four seat rotations, trainees work closely with a designated supervisor and are given early responsibility and client exposure.

Trainees receive regular feedback and formal reviews, where they work with their supervisors to create a personal development programme.

Throughout the two years, trainees continue to attend regular workshops to develop their skillsets, including networking, negotiation, technology, project management and presentation skills training. Trainees also have access to Trainee Mentors, attend regular trainee meetings and receive career coaching on seat and qualification choices. Upon qualification, all of our lawyers have a clear promotion structure and access to bespoke training programmes for each stage of their careers.
