What we offer can you apply for?

Law students As a law student you can apply for a vacation scheme and training contract during your penultimate or final year. This means you will have time to complete the final year of your degree and the LPC before you start with us.

Non-law students 50% of our trainee intakes studied another subject at undergraduate level. As a non-law student, you can apply for a place on our vacation scheme or for a training contract from your final year. This will give you the chance to complete the GDL and the LPC before you start with us.
