Early career opportunities

We offer opportunities both in London and Cambridge. Our two-week summer vacation scheme lets you experience what working in a law firm is really like. You'll build your skill set through group activities and individual tasks, and at the end you'll be considered for a training contract. Our training contract allows our trainees to experience six-month seats in four different practice groups, including one contentious seat and one in our corporate or finance areas. You'll work closely with associates on high-quality work from the outset with client contact. Most importantly, regular support and feedback every step of the way ensures that your career goes in the direction you want it to.

Law firms have different cultures and specialisms, and it can be tricky to assess which firm is the best fit for you from the outside. Our open days, webinars and two-day first year insight scheme provide you the opportunity to learn about the firm, hear from our lawyers and experience what makes Taylor Wessing special, either in person or online.

Our six-year Level 7 solicitor apprentice programme will provide you with an opportunity to gain an LLB (Hons) in Legal Practice and a qualify as solicitor. Each week you will spend four days working in one of our practice areas, working on complex cases for our clients, and one day studying with our training provider, University of Law. All your tuition fees will be paid for you, and you'll earn a salary whilst training and gaining your qualifications.
