Every candidate has a different journey and experience which has brought them to the point of submitting an application to us and we welcome this diversity. We ask that you take the time to add further information where applicable to help us better understand you as an individual and your pathway to us. This is particularly relevant if you are applying later than your penultimate year of your Law degree or final year of your degree for non-law students, if your academic results have been anything other than consistently high, or if you have not gained much legal work experience.More information about a Training Contract at Boodle Hatfield can be found in our graduate recruitment brochure online.Key dates<ul><li>1 November 2024 to 31 January 2025 – 2024 Vacation Scheme</li><li>1 November 2024 to 16 June 2025 – Apply for 2027 Training Contract</li><li>July 2025 – Attend Summer Scheme</li><li>Up to August 2027 – Complete remaining legal studies</li><li>September 2027 – Training Contract Commences</li></ul>Selection Process The selection process for 2027 Training Contracts will be held during July/August 2025.If your application has been shortlisted you will be invited to an assessment centre.
