Seat is essentially just the code word for "department" in the training-contract world. As you embark on your training contract, you'll rotate through a number of different departments within the law firm that's training you. Each department you work in is known as a "seat".
Our two-year training contract is divided into six seats, each lasting four months. First five seats: Rotations through 5 of 13 different practice areas to provide broad legal exposure. Final seat: Focused in the practice area where trainees will qualify, ensuring a smooth transition to the associate role.
The seat of a corporation is the publicly-registered headquarters, or the registered office of a corporate entity.
The legal trainee scheme ( LTS ) is the term that we use to describe the training available within a number of government departments. The departments that typically offer trainee positions through the LTS are: Government Legal Department ( GLD ) Government Legal Department ( GLD ) Commercial / DfT Legal Advisers.
Your training contract lasts for two years. You will complete four seat rotations in six monthly blocks, enabling you to gain experience in a variety of practice areas. You will have caseloads, attend client meetings, work closely with experienced Solicitors and much more.
