The interview
If you are invited to an interview, you will first meet Emma Young, our graduate recruitment and development manager and then two partners from our recruitment committee. One of our current trainees will give you a tour of the office too, so make sure you have a long list of questions for them.
We will reimburse travel expenses up to a maximum of £100. If you are travelling from overseas, please check with us before planning your trip.
The offer
If we offer you a training contract and you are in two minds about accepting, you can come back for another visit and meet more people. This will help you make sure that we are the right choice for you.
After you have accepted
You probably won't be starting for two years, but we want you to feel part of the firm straight away. That's why we will be in regular contact with you, invite you to various social functions and monitor your progress at law school. When you do eventually sit down at your desk, we promise you'll feel very much at home.
