Your development as a trainee is crucial to the success of the firm and the future development of our business and so we will ensure you have plenty of support and guidance from day one of your training contract. You will usually sit with your supervisor, an experienced associate, who will be there to guide and coach you through each seat. We recognise that good supervision is vital – providing you with practical day-to-day training and opportunities to develop your legal skills and knowledge.
Half way through and at the end of each seat you will sit down with your supervisor to review your overall performance. This will involve assessing the development of your skills, identifying areas of strength and areas for development and agreeing new objectives and future training. Nobody will expect you to become the finished article overnight. What we will expect is energy and enthusiasm.
In return, we will provide you with a challenging career - always backed up by the appropriate level of support. Nurturing our people really is a key part of our culture.
