We understand that taking the first step in to career in law is important, so we offer you the support and guidance you need as you embark on your journey.
From the beginning of your training, you will be given hands on, client work, to deal with. As you become embedded into the team, your responsibilities will grow, along with your learning and development and opportunities to be involved in more complex cases. All of which, is helping you in your journey to qualification.
As well as interesting and engaging work, there is the opportunity to be involved in pro-bono opportunities, the Forbes Foundation, and careers talks where you can engage with students considering a career in law.
If you are yet to complete your LPC or the SQE, we will cover your SQE costs via our Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeship, meaning you will receive a salary at the same time as working and studying.
