Eligibility and selection criteria

Are you looking for superior training, a high level of Partner supervision and accessibility, extensive client contact, a structured training programme plus interesting and challenging work to do?

As every law firm will tell you, excellent academics are essential.  We look for candidates who have 320 UCAS points at A Level (including at least one A grade) or equivalent.  However, we require more than just academic ability.  We also look for candidates who can demonstrate the following:

  • an enthusiasm and a drive to succeed
  • team working skills as a player and a leader
  • resilience and strength of character
  • initiative and a sense of responsibility
  • versatility and an innovative approach
  • an analytical and logical mind
  • excellent communication skills and the ability to adapt them to your audience.

We believe in having a diverse workforce which is why we don't just look for candidates from Oxbridge and "red-brick" universities.  We welcome applications from all universities as well as candidates who have already left university as well as mature candidates who are considering a career change.
