We believe the best lawyers are those who are those who are genuinely passionate about the sectors they work in. That’s why our unique training contract allows you to tailor your experience and develop your expertise within the areas that interest you most.
Over the course of your two-year training contract, you’ll complete four six-month seats, gaining hands on experience across at least three different teams while developing the skills and confidence needed to succeed as a solicitor.
From the outset, your seats will be aligned to one of our three specialist business groups:
· Business Services
· Health
· Marine
This approach gives you the opportunity to build sector-specific knowledge, work with market-leading experts and gain meaningful, real-world experience throughout your training.
Training contracts are available across our offices in Liverpool, Manchester, London, Leeds, Newcastle and Birmingham, providing opportunities to develop your career in a location that suits you.
Throughout your training contract, you will be supported to develop every step of the way. During each six-month seat, you’ll meet twice with our dedicated trainee committee, made up of partners, legal directors and senior associates from across our business groups.
The committee plays an active role in your development, helping you reflect on your progress, identify opportunities for growth and make the most of your training contract. Whether you need guidance, feedback or general advice, you’ll have a network of experienced colleagues invested in your growth.
Your development also extends beyond the work you do in your seats. Alongside your practical legal training, you’ll take part in our bespoke Trainee Development Programme, designed to support your professional, personal and commercial growth.
At Hill Dickinson, you’ll play an active role in shaping not only your own career, but also the wider life of the firm. Alongside your day-to-day work, you’ll have opportunities to get involved in initiatives that matter to you, whether that’s supporting our corporate responsibility programmes, joining one of our diversity and inclusion networking groups, or representing the firm at careers fairs.
