Trainee Solicitor Recruitment

Applications for 2015 Training Contracts

On 1st April 2013 we shall open the application process for training contracts to commence in September 2015.

Applications are to be by covering letter and CV, to be marked for the attention of Richard Powell, and should ONLY be sent by e-mail to trainee@jmw.co.uk. Applications cannot be accepted by any other method. The deadline for applying is 5pm on Friday 30th August 2013. Thereafter, we intend replying to all candidates by the end of September 2013 to indicate if you have been successful in being selected for first interview.

Any applications made at this stage will not be processed and will need to be resubmitted at the relevant time, as above.

Each year, we look for the very best new trainee solicitors to join us and to become part of the exciting future of this firm. We look for a strong academic record (a minimum of 2:1 degree level), as well as excellent interpersonal and team working skills, drive and enthusiasm. We would like candidates to show an ability to organise themselves and others, and that you can combine technical ability with a common sense approach to your work. We would also like to see some details about your other personal achievements and interests. We believe in recruiting the right people to help drive our business forward, which means that we are interested in you as an individual, and to hear how you feel your personal skills and qualities will benefit JMW. Some link to the local area is preferred but not essential. We are seeking candidates who can work to the very highest standards in order to meet our clients’ expectations.

JMW takes its training commitments very seriously and is proud of the fact that a number of our existing partners joined the firm as trainees.

Our trainees receive high quality training in at least 3 of our departments, working in both contentious and non contentious areas. We believe in giving our trainees very hands on experience, developing your legal skills and also ensuring that you learn to work effectively in a commercial environment.

Please note that we do not offer sponsorship to trainee candidates for LPC costs.
