We have always endeavoured to maximise training opportunities, extending these in the past to welcoming trainees on secondment from external bodies (Crime Prosecution Service and Shelter).

Our existing Solicitors, Partners and Directors participate in ensuring that trainees benefit from high quality supervision, effective processes and receive support throughout their training programme. Supervision, access to regular training, coaching on-the-job and effective mentoring are all fundamental parts of training to be a solicitor.
