what we look for

Top tips

  • To apply to our trainee programme, you must have completed (or be about to complete) a law-related degree, or you will have completed the PGDL. It is likely that this will be a second class honours degree or above.
  • We look for personality, enthusiasm and evidence of good team work from our trainees. Experience gained within the legal profession is beneficial.
  • As well as good academic standards, we will want you to prove that you are a well-rounded individual, and have a life beyond the law. Examples of where you have taken on responsibility and have demonstrated the ability to work as a team will help your application.
  • We view our trainees as the partners of the future. So it is important that you have the communication skills to interact with a variety of people at all levels, both internally and externally.
