    It is an incredibly exciting time to kick start your career in the legal technology industry. Over the past decade, the demand for innovative, tech enabled legal services has developed into a broad field, offering a range of technical specialists and an exciting alternative career path in law for those who do not wish to qualify as lawyers.

    Following on from the success of last year's Legal tech graduate scheme we have decided to launch our third cohort of graduates. Providing high performing graduates who are interested in developing a career in legal technology an opportunity to join the fast-paced Service Excellence team at one of the world’s leading law firms.

    "The need for digital transformation within the legal profession requires finding people who are passionate. We need to be investing and training people in these alternative careers. Some might be from a legal background; others might have done side projects. The important thing is to look at client problems through a different lens,”. Rachel Broquard, ‌Service Excellence Partner

    Role summary

    This two-year scheme will be split into two parts. Within the first year, you will be embedded within the central Service Excellence Solutions team where you will be exposed to our firm-wide legal and client-facing technologies and problem-solving frameworks. This will be a mixture of training exercises and live project work to build out your fundamental skills across our core toolkit

    During year two you will take part in two six-month practice group placements, creating an opportunity for you to build upon the skills gained in year one and develop your ability to analyse problems and identify feasible solutions in real time

    This dual approach ensures that you get a varied, rich experience and develop a good breadth knowledge over the duration of the Scheme

    Qualifications and training

    During the Scheme, you will be exposed to and gain various fundamental business skills (such as presentation skills, problem solving, effective communication, etc.) as well as building out your technical skills in areas such as artificial intelligence, workflow automation, app development and data analysis.

    At Eversheds Sutherland, we’re committed to getting our graduates up to speed as quickly as possible so that they can be part of the team that moves us forward. That means giving you early exposure to real, meaningful work from day one.

    What happens when you complete the Legal Technology Graduate Recruitment Scheme

    Upon completion of the Scheme, subject to adequate performance, you will be given the opportunity to apply for a permanent position within either the central Service Excellence Solutions team or a Legal Practice Group Technology team.
