Trainees

It is important to get a good start to your career in the law and, with this in mind, our Trainee programme has been designed to enable you to get the most from a combination of on-the-job training, courses and seminars.

We aim to attract high-calibre Trainees who will contribute to the success of our business. Academic achievement is, of course, important: however, we pay a lot of attention to your personal characteristics. We are looking for excellent communication skills, sound planning and organisational skills and the ability to work as part of a team.

Our closing date for applications for a 2011 Traineeship has now passed and we are no longer accepting applications. The closing date for applications for a Traineeship commencing in 2012 is 12 noon on 29 October 2010.

We will be attending the following law fairs in the period leading up to our closing date for traineeship applications.
