Seat rotation programme
As a trainee, you will spend time in four of our key practice areas, with each period (or seat) lasting for six months.
The Graduate Recruitment and Development team will work closely with you to understand your interest in particular departments. You will be given the opportunity to express a departmental preference prior to the start of each seat, which we will consider in line with business needs. While we aim to accommodate your preferences, this cannot always be guaranteed.
The seat rotation policy ensures that you benefit from exposure to at least three distinct areas of law, including contentious law, as recommended by the Solicitors’ Regulatory Authority. A number of our departments offer contentious experience, including Dispute Resolution, Employment, Intellectual Property and EC, Competition & Trade.
Corporate work is at the heart of the firm. We therefore require each of our trainees to spend six months in our Corporate department.
During each seat you will have an informal mid-seat review to discuss your progress, providing you with an opportunity to reflect on your development. You will also have a more formal end-of-seat evaluation with a trainee partner which involves feedback on your progress, and where you are encouraged to provide feedback on your own experiences.
