Excellence, commitment and development
are not words we use lightly in our graduate
training programme. In every respect, they are
words that lie at the very heart of our business
and culture. We have an excellent reputation
for training and offer our trainee solicitors
early responsibility. We provide four seats
of six months in a variety of departments;
including Augustines injury law, commercial,
commercial litigation, corporate, education,
employment, private client, projects and
real estate. Trainees therefore benefit from
experience in a wide range of practice areas.
Many of the firm's present Partners and senior
lawyers trained with the firm.
We also provide opportunities for students to
spend a week with us during the summer to
gain work experience. This offers a valuable
insight into the day to day workings of a large,
progressive firm of commercial lawyers, as
students spend time in different areas of the
firm.
Candidates who have been offered and
accepted a training contract with the firm may
be eligible for full sponsorship of LPC tuition
fees. Veale Wasbrough also offers an interest
free loan to help with living expenses.
