The role:



We are recruiting for a Legal Trainee to join the firm in September 2025. The two-year traineeship is split into two or three seats.

The third seat is usually spent within the Asset Protection Group, where there will be a wide range of work.

We will also consider applications from trainees looking to undertake a purely property traineeship predominantly within our Rural Property and Commercial Property Groups but could also include aspects of property dispute work and Residential Property.
