Overview

Your career as an Arthur Cox trainee solicitor will be challenging, exciting and rewarding. The Trainee Programme is designed to help you meet those challenges and develop new knowledge and skills.

Details

The Trainee Programme focuses on developing a number of core skill areas, which are essential to your success as a lawyer.

These include:

  • Advanced legal research for commercial practice
  • Advanced writing and drafting
  • Negotiation
  • Project management
  • Communication
  • People
  • Practice management
  • Business development

At every stage of your training and development, you will be encouraged to push boundaries and to get involved in work of the highest calibre in an environment designed to support your professional growth and development.

As an Arthur Cox trainee, you will advise market-leading domestic and international clients. You will work as an integral part of a team with lawyers who are experts in their fields and who are committed to giving you unrivalled opportunities for professional growth and development.

Our trainees share an office with a partner or senior associate. This gives you invaluable exposure to high quality work and clients, allows you to learn from the experts and helps you to build meaningful life-long connections. The benefits of these connections last long after traineeships are completed, and it is yet another example of practical steps we take in the pursuit of legal expertise and excellence for our trainees.

One of the things that sets our Trainee Programme apart is that our trainees do five rotations instead of four. Trainees will complete a rotation in each of the main practice areas – corporate, finance, litigation and property as well as being encouraged to choose a niche area that they are interested in. We also offer our trainees the opportunity to complete a rotation in our London office. Upon qualification you will have an in-depth knowledge and experience of all aspects of our firm and can make an informed decision regarding your future area of specialisation.

Our trainees now have the opportunity to complete a rotation in our Pro Bono practice. This aligns with the firm’s commitment to pro bono work and to developing and maintaining a co-ordinated, focused, well-balanced, and meaningful pro bono scheme. The pro bono trainee will work closely with the team to provide pro bono legal services to a wide range of clients, from individual refugees and social enterprises to not for profit organisations.
