During your legal work placement, you will work in tandem with the paralegals, assisting the associates, senior associates and partners. You’ll be given practical experience and a real insight into the unique culture of the nation’s leading full-service law firm.

We’d love to hear from candidates for both the legal work placement and the training contract that have a genuine passion and enthusiasm for the law and possess the ability to be flexible and responsive to changing business demands and priorities. We also look for candidates who have the capacity to use their initiative, think creatively and have good problem solving skills, coupled with excellent communication and attention to detail, both written and verbal.

We welcome applications from all degree types, provided you are able to start your training contract in 2022.

The potential seats available in the Southampton office are; commercial litigation, corporate, corporate tax, general counsel and real estate. Please note that these seats are subject to change and you will be asked for preferences if you are invited onto the legal work placement.
