During your training contract you’ll experience four six-month rotations throughout our eight different practice groups, giving you a breadth of experience and practical skills that will stay with you for your entire career.
A day in the life of . . .
The learning opportunities in this role have been endless, and after a year, I can confidently say that the training contract is providing me with the most valuable tools to begin a successful career in law.
Fatima Coulibaly, Trainee Solicitor
Despite being the first cohort of solicitor apprentices at DLA Piper, their commitment to the Apprenticeship Programme was clear, and it really appealed to me that the firm wanted to provide these opportunities to everyone despite their level.
Alix Leatherday, Solicitor Apprentice
Committing to a 6-year term as a Solicitor Apprentice was a substantial step in my career. After conducting thorough research on the firm’s values, client base, personnel, and its widely recognised positive reputation, I became confident that DLA Piper was the law firm for me.
Jonathan Tembo, Solicitor Apprentice
The firm invests a lot of time and resources into developing their junior talent. The Early Careers team in particular regularly organise check-ins with trainees and have hosted sessions on important topics such as resilience, mental and physical wellbeing, overcoming imposter syndrome and much more.
