    The road to becoming an accomplished lawyer is a long but exciting journey. Securing a training contract at the right firm is an important first step towards that goal. At Fox Williams you will see the blueprint before you as you work alongside partners who were once Fox Williams trainees themselves.

    The Role

    We value our trainees and hope that they will be our future leaders. Training is taken seriously, and we believe that our combined commitment will allow you to make the most out of your career. This training will be both on a day to day level working under the guidance of senior members of staff but also through regular workshops which go beyond black letter law by focusing on commercial know-how and technical legal expertise too. The day to day learning is the most crucial training you will receive which is why we think it is paramount that trainees are given vast amounts of one-to-one partner contact as well as regular interaction with our clients.

    Whether you receive a training contract or not, once you apply you become part of the Fox Williams community and we do our utmost to ensure that you have a positive experience with us.

    Vacation scheme

    Typically, our vacation schemes are a week long and will give you an insight into what it is like to be a trainee solicitor with us. The vacation scheme is a friendly process where you will be exposed to different elements of the firm and work with your fellow vacation schemers to complete various projects. You will sit in two of our departments and get an opportunity to speak with your potential colleagues as well as our current trainees who have sat exactly where you are.

    Following the vacation scheme we will decide who we will be offering training contracts to. However, whether successful or not, we want to ensure that everyone who walks through our doors has a fantastic experience that they can learn from. Your feedback following the scheme will be concise, and hopefully, helpful for your journey.

    What you can expect from us

    If you have been successful and have been awarded a training contract, we will be in constant contact ensuring that you feel a part of the firm, until you join with us full-time. This is primarily through regular social events, however our graduate recruitment team will be an email/phone call away if there is anything you need.
