There is no Addleshaw Goddard type. We are looking for authentic personalities who are aspiring, confident and committed to becoming great lawyers.
We want people who want to learn alongside the best in the profession, bringing their energy and passion to our team and our clients.
The placement scheme is open to all second year law students and above or final year non-law students.
What can you expect?
This is a scheme as unique as you are. As well as informative sessions, group exercises, assessed work and plenty of time at your desk, you will attend social events with a range of people across the office. It's a real chance to get to know our people and our culture. Successful candidates will then go on to be offered a training contract with the firm.

You'll receive training that's tailored to your needs and interests while gaining a first-hand insight into life at one of the UK's most respected law firms. You will be supported by some of our brightest minds and challenged with meaningful work, helping you develop the connections and skills you need to become a trusted lawyer.
