Law Training Contracts Taylor Wessing LLP

Job description

If you are looking for responsibility from the word go, exposure to real projects for major clients, plus a real breadth of legal training across a range of specialist practice groups– a training contract at Taylor Wessing move your career as a lawyer forward faster.

We are a full-service law firm that attracts big-firm work. Our clients include 60% of the world’s top 50 brands. We focus mainly on the industries of tomorrow: Technology, Media and Telecoms; Life Sciences and Healthcare; Energy and Environment; Real Estate and Infrastructure; and Financial Institutions and Services. And we’re renowned for our forward-thinking approach, our industry-focused and instinctively commercial advice, and our ability to spot better ways to help clients achieve their ambitions.

We only recruit 22-24 trainees a year – a purposely small intake, so you’ll become an integral part of the team from the outset, receiving the support and attention to make rapid progress. In fact, it will often feel like you’re not training at all. From the start, you’ll be hands-on, developing your talent, working on projects alongside partners and lawyers to support clients. Very quickly, you’ll turn the theory of law into the practice of being a solicitor.

Qualification and experience requirements

If you have a minimum of ABB at A-level and expect to gain a 2:1 degree (a law degree isn’t essential).
