What is the Linklaters Training Contract? The Linklaters training contract is a structured two-year program that involves trainees rotating through four six-month seats or placements.
A training contract is a route to qualify as a Solicitor in England and Wales where you undertake a two-year placement as a trainee solicitor. Under the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) route, this two-year period counts as Qualifying Work Experience (QWE).
Application process: Online application form, Watson Glaser Test, pre-recorded Video Interview, Assessment Day. Eligibility: Our Training Contract is open to penultimate year law students, final year law and non-law students and graduates.

The traditional route is to get a law degree or a related degree, take the LPC – by 2032, the LPC will be completely phased out – and the SQE if you have a non-law degree. After the SQE you'll need to get a TC at a law firm, preferably one with a strong showing in contract law.
