Joining us as a trainee solicitor
What qualities do we look for in a trainee solicitor?
Well, we want more than just academic and intellectual ability. Sure you have to be bright to cut it as a solicitor, but it takes more than pure brain power to become a successful lawyer. Candidates who have had some experience of life are often the best suited. That’s why we welcome applications from people who have gained their degree in a non-law subject. Again there are many people sitting around our partnership table that have qualified via the Diploma in Law or the old CPE course.
