Lock Applications for this job open on 4 Sep 2026

The objective of the Trainee Solicitor Programme is to ensure a seamless transition from a talented student to a professional lawyer.

You will have the opportunity to spend six months in four of our practice areas, allowing you to rotate in life sciences, private equity, private investment funds, real estate, technology, tax, financial services, antitrust, employment and complex litigation and dispute resolution. This rotation will give you the widest exposure to our business and substantive responsibilities and client interactions from the outset.

Who can apply?

  • To be eligible to apply, you will need to be in at least the penultimate year of your law degree, final year of your non-law degree, or have already graduated.

Please note we do not review applications on a rolling basis; we will be in touch following the closing date.
