We take it very seriously that you may want to entrust the next stage of your working journey and your career to us.Qualifying is not easy – it involves a lot of hard work and study over many years.

We think you’ll most likely thrive in our open, supportive and friendly environment, working with people you will respect and who you will very much enjoy working with.

As a regional firm, we have a reputation for punching above our weight and recently we have significantly increased in size, growing the partnership and our turnover.We’re also a Legal 500 Future Lawyers winner for 2024/25 in seven categories – ‘Client Contact’, ‘Inclusiveness’, ‘Legal Technology’, ‘Quality of Work’, ‘Social Life’, ‘Sustainability’ and ‘Work / Life Balance’.As a business we focus on corporate transactions, commercial contracts, commercial property, strategic land, residential development, property &amp; commercial litigation and a full range of high-quality family and private wealth services, including wills, trusts and probate, contentious wills, trusts &amp; probate and estate planning &amp; tax.

Typically, we recruit two or three trainees a year each September.Our Graduate Programme, via the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) routeWe offer a three-year programme to qualify as a Solicitor:<ul><li>Year 1 – You will work within a Legal Assistant / Paralegal role in one of our teams. You might have the opportunity to work in more than one team, however the team you join, and whether you move teams during year one is dependent on business need at the time of your employment. Six months into your first year, you can apply to progress to our two year Training Programme. If you’re successful, you will work as a Trainee Solicitor in years two and three of your Training Programme.</li><li>Year 2 – You will undertake your first year as a Trainee Solicitor and be placed in two of our different teams in six month intervals (your first and second seat). You will study alongside your work and complete your SQE1 exam towards the end of the year.</li><li>Year 3 – Subject to you passing your SQE1, you will progress into your second year of our Training Programme and gain experience in two more teams, again in six month intervals (your third and fourth seat). You will study alongside your work and complete your SQE2 exam.</li></ul>During years two and three the firm will pay for you to attend a preparation course before taking each of the SQE1 and SQE2 exams, along with also paying for your first attempt at these exams. In addition you are likely to receive paid study leave.At the end of this three-year Training Programme and subject to you passing your SQE exams, you will qualify as a Solicitor.Our Graduate Programme, via the LPC RouteIf you have already completed your LPC then you can proceed straight to becoming a Trainee Solicitor, which will equate to a two year Training Programme. During this two year period you will undertake four different seats in six month intervals and will qualify as a Solicitor at the end of the two years. You will not need to complete SQE1 or SQE2.<blockquote>“We understand the pressure involved when deciding where you want to start your legal career, but believe it is a very exciting opportunity for University Graduates with the launch of our new 3 year Graduate Trainee Programmes.
