Job description
Choose us for your training contract and, over the course of two years, you’ll get the chance to experience different areas of the law first hand and to work with a variety of colleagues and clients.
Our training contract in our offices in England follows the SQE route to qualification, or the traditional route to qualification for those who have already completed the LPC. For our Edinburgh trainees, you will qualify with the Law Society of Scotland, rather than the SQE.
This is your training contract and it’s up to you to make the most of it, but along the way we offer fantastic opportunities to develop your legal career in a growing firm. Our supervisors are trained and fully supported on an ongoing basis. You’ll have access to high quality work and senior client contact. We regularly second trainees to our most high profile clients.

- You are currently studying (in your penultimate or final year) or have completed a law degree in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland
- You are currently studying (in your final year) or have completed a non-law degree in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland
You are currently studying (in your final year) or have completed a non-law degree in Scotland
- You are in your final year of or have completed an international qualifying law degree
