Why attend a trainee solicitor event?
Our events are a fantastic opportunity for you to gain an insight into the culture of the firm and find out more about what we do. If you are planning on submitting an application for a vacation scheme or training contract we strongly recommend attending an event beforehand. Attending an event is a great way to get tips on how to complete our application form, and provides a deeper insight into the firm and what makes us different. Events are open to all who are interested in a career in law. Some of our events will be held Online but if you are attending an event at our offices and do not live close by we can cover your travel expenses.
Open days
We will be holding Open days at our Bristol office on 7 and 8 April 2021 and offer 48 places for each day.
The day will include talks from our lawyers, from trainee solicitor to partner level, group workshops and the chance to find out more about our application process. There will also be the opportunity to network with our trainee solicitors and graduate recruitment team.
*Please note that we will follow government guidelines regarding social distancing and we will make the decision nearer the time to run our open days Online if it is advised to do so.
