One of our main objectives is to recruit trainee solicitors with a view to retaining them upon qualification. This organic growth is the backbone of the firm.

We have retained a considerable proportion of our trainee intake in
recent years and are looking to continue that trend. Growth from within
is very much a priority. Indeed, no less that 6 of the present partners
originally joined the firm as trainees.

We usually recruit three trainees per year with training contracts
commencing on 1st September each year.

Not surprisingly, any applicant to the firm must have impressive A level
grades and no less than 2.1 degree from a recognised university.
You need to be enthusiastic and committed and have the ability to use
your initiative. Confidence and a sense of humour are essential.
Shrinking violets need not apply.

If selected for a training contract you will spend 2 years working in
4 different departments and in each you will receive a high level of
training whilst experiencing considerable client contact.

Applications for 2012 are now closed. If you would like to apply for a
training contract for September 2013 then send your CV with a covering
letter via post or email (Word document please) to our Training Partner,
Ann Robinson at ARobinson@LawBlacks.com. The deadline for
September 2013 applications is 31st January 2012.

We look forward to hearing you.

Good Luck

Ann Robinson
