Job description
We are more than just exceptional lawyers here. We attract talented aspiring lawyers from all backgrounds, who bring their own unique qualities, along with a collaborative approach, professional drive and a commitment to every client’s success. This is just one of the reasons we’re sure you will enjoy working with us.
As a trainee, important cases will come your way from the get-go. You will work on everything from multi-million-pound deals to high-profile fraud cases, employment disputes to complex technology contracts. Our success is intrinsically linked to yours, so we’ll always have your back and help you realise your potential.
As well as learning on the job, you will also have access to high-quality in-house and external training, a buddy scheme in your first seat, and a mentor throughout your training contract and beyond.
We now offer training contracts and in England we also offer graduate solicitor apprenticeships. Training contracts are typically four seats long, with opportunities to spend time in another of our offices as well as on secondment with clients. During each six-month seat, you will have regular two-way performance reviews with your supervising partner or solicitor. They will help you develop the skills you need to deal with the demanding work you will come across every day.
Graduate solicitor apprenticeships differ in that you will receive a salary whilst you study your SQE full time and your SQE 2 assessment would be completed during the course of your training contract. More information about how training contracts and the graduate solicitor apprenticeships, please visit our website.
The best advocates of our graduate careers are the trainees themselves. See what some of them have to say about life at Addleshaw Goddard.
