Applying to train in London Cooley recruits trainees two years in advance and exclusively through its summer programme. If you want to be considered for a training contract starting in August 2025, you will need to apply for our 2023 summer programme. Applications need to be submitted by 15 January 2023 (you will be asked to indicate if you can commence your training in August 2024 during the application process). You are encouraged to submit your application well in advance. Reviewing applications and shortlisting may begin just ahead of the deadline, but we do not assess applications on a rolling basis. Shortlisted applicants can expect to hear from the firm within three weeks of the application deadline, with all applicants being informed of their final status within a month of the deadline. Cooley’s London office will be transitioning to the SQE pathway for those trainees commencing in 2024 and beyond.

Academic requirements Cooley’s academic requirements are a minimum 2.1 at degree level for any discipline and 128 UCAS points (ABB at A Level) or equivalent, not to include points from AS levels or general studies. We will accept applications from individuals who do not meet these requirements if they have clear and valid mitigating circumstances – and have otherwise demonstrated excellence at another point in their academic or professional history. Law school support For those who secure a training place prior to the start of law school, Cooley will pay the fees and will provide a living allowance of £15,500 per annum.
