Routes to the training contract

We welcome applications from both law and non-law students.

All future trainees must study the Legal Practice Course (LPC) at BPP Law School in Holborn, London. Together with four other City law firms and BPP, we have designed a specific course to give our students a thorough training in the law relevant to the commercial transactions on which we advise.

The course is run as an accelerated programme over 7½ months as opposed to the traditional 10 months. There are two LPC intakes each year in February and August. We will pay your course fees and provide a maintenance grant.

Those who have not studied law will also be required to study the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) at BPP. We have a strong preference for this to be studied in London. We will pay your course fees and provide a maintenance grant.

If you would like to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales, but have not completed your undergraduate degree here, you will also need to study the LPC. You are advised to contact the Solicitors Regulation Authority before submitting an application to find out which courses you need to undertake before starting the LPC.
