Leap Over The Final Hurdle! Training Contract Applications Are Now Open!

Thought you could just glide back into contract law after an Easter bank holiday consisting only of a slow roasted shoulder of lamb and numerous chocolate eggs? Think again – training contract applications are open!

Securing a training contract is the final hurdle to becoming to a solicitor. If you land one, you’ll spend two years training with a law firm, becoming a fully-qualified solicitor at the end of it!

The deadline for the majority of training contracts is July 31, but don’t allow this to ease your panic. Training contract applications can be lengthy and you should tailor each of your applications to the specific firms – generic CV’s, cover letters and competency question responses are a big no-no! Research is obviously required, both into law firms and the wider world of business.

As you might expect, there are a lot of opportunities on offer, so we’ve made it easy for you to narrow down the training contracts on offer in City firms, international firms, regional firms, US firms and Scottish firms, so you can race ahead with your applications. Head over to our 2015 Training Contract hub for all the opportunities at law firms across the UK.
