At Fladgate LLP we offer you the unique opportunity to combine a first class education programme and real-hands on experience. Our trainees form an integral part of the team and are given exposure to clients and high-quality work from an early stage. As a trainee at Fladgate LLP you are an investment in our future and we hope that your training contract is only the first stage in a long and successful career with the firm.

What you'll do

When you join the firm you will complete a comprehensive induction programme to introduce you to the firm, our procedures and our business plan.

We provide a programme of seminars and practical workshops on basic and advanced legal skills during each of your four seats. This includes, in the first few weeks of each seat, three or four sessions on the topics you will come across most often, with a step by step guide to drafting relevant documents. In addition, as a trainee, you are invited to attend all other departmental meetings and training sessions as well as training sessions within the department where you are sitting.

On-the-job training is the key to your development. You will work on a variety of deals both large and small. Where possible you will deal direct with the client and you will be given every opportunity to develop your drafting and negotiating skills in real life situations. You are given the opportunity to shine and fulfil your potential from day one. We will pay for your Professional Skills Course which will be undertaken externally.
