Early responsibility

Our trainee solicitors are treated as important lawyers from day one which means the work which is given is on real matters and with real clients. Working alongside our partners and their teams, trainee solicitors are expected to be ready to face challenges and pressure early on to get the best out of their experience.

Firm-wide support

We are an exceptionally social firm and have won the ‘most sociable firm in the UK’ award for multiple years in The Legal 500 Future Lawyers survey. This and our other awards according to our own trainees can be seen on our Legal 500 Future Lawyers profile.  

The teams at LP all work closely together and trainee solicitors are encouraged to get involved in activities across all teams, not just the team where they sit. Aside from the work trainees take on to develop their legal knowledge and ability, they are also given opportunity to develop other skills by taking part in firm-wide events such as Sync the City.

Opportunity for growth

We are a full-service firm, which means our trainee solicitors have a choice of eight areas to experience during their training contract. Our size allows us to provide close-knit support from lawyers of all levels and fantastic opportunities to progress and develop. During your training with us, you will have regular reviews and guidance with your supervisor, the training principal, and the People & Culture Manager. You will also be paired with a qualified lawyer 'buddy' offering more informal support. Once qualified, our lawyers then pair up with a mentor who supports their career progression to Associate, Senior Associate, and Partner levels.

Competitive Benefits

We have a wide range of benefits to offer our trainees from their very first day at LP, including:

  • Firm-wide bonus scheme, which in the 2024/2025 financial year, paid each employee 10% of their annual salary as a bonus
  • Healthcare cash plan
  • Wellbeing support
  • Free eye tests
  • Annual flu vaccination clinic
  • Enhanced parental leave
  • Free breakfast and fresh fruit
  • Free railcard
  • Discounted bus travel
  • Subsidised city centre parking
  • Pension based on full salary and annual advice sessions
  • Corporate discounts

In addition to the above firm-wide benefits, we also offer all our future trainee solicitors financial support, by means of either (or both) an interest free loan, and / or a contribution payment towards fund their SQE course fees.

Further details of the renumeration package will be released to successful candidates upon receipt of a training contract offer.
