Trainee Solicitor

Training at Fladgate combines a first-class education programme with real hands-on experience and client contact. The nature of our business and small intake of trainees each year means you will be given exposure to high quality work with lots of responsibility from an early stage. We don’t expect you to learn by sitting on the side lines or standing at the photocopier; you will gain first-hand experience on a variety of deals both large and small. Where possible you will be given every opportunity to develop your drafting and negotiating skills in real life situations.

Our two year training programme is divided into four seats of six months. Each of our trainees will complete core seats in contentious and non-contentious areas.
