During our Middle East-London Training Contract, you’ll work on live client deals across four six-month seats in London and the Middle East. You’ll build experience across different practice areas, with ongoing training and support to develop the professional skills you need. Once qualified, you’ll start your career as an Associate in the Middle East.
In each seat, you’ll sit with a Principal – a senior lawyer who will support your learning and development – with additional guidance from a Group Trainee Solicitor Partner. Regular feedback and ongoing support from our Human Resources and Trainee Development team will help you track your progress and shape your development. As your interests evolve, you’ll have the flexibility to adapt your preferences along the way, supported by world-class seminars and training tailored to your seat and practice area.
