We've designed our vacation schemes to give you an immersive experience, showing you first-hand what it takes to succeed in the legal world. Held annually, our schemes take place at both our London and Birmingham offices. You will get to sit in one of our core practice areas and be immersed in a range of legal work.
Length of a period of recognised training If a trainee works for less than 32 hours during a week we would consider this a part time period of recognised training and the trainee will be expected to complete more than the minimum two year requirement.
Your training will enable you to understand the practical implications of the law and develop the skills you'll need as a solicitor. The period of recognised training is normally two years full time, but it can be reduced if you have relevant previous legal experience.
