People are the key to our success. With our graduate trainee solicitor recruitment scheme we are looking for our partners of the future.

Gordons takes on up to four graduate trainee solicitors each year. Successful candidates benefit from close supervision working alongside experienced lawyers.

We expect our trainees to get involved in client work straight away and to make valuable contributions to the firm and our success. We also often have opportunities for future trainees to join us as paralegals before their training so that they can really hit the ground running. Gordons trainees can expect training and support from across the firm throughout.

There is always fierce competition for our graduate trainee solicitor places. Although we do look for academic achievement, we also place strong emphasis on character and are looking for people with a great attitude who can forge their career with us.

The training contract lasts two years, during which you will complete four six-month spells learning different specialisms including:

• Commercial Property
• Corporate / Commercial
• Dispute Resolution
• Employment
• Private Client
• Property Disputes

As well as a competitive salary, our trainees are entitled to:

• 25 days holiday per year, plus statutory holidays
• A group personal pension
• Life assurance of 3 x salary death in service benefit
• Employee Assistance Programme providing information and advice on health and well being topics, as well as 24 hour access to a counselling service
• Interest free season ticket loan for travel
• Colleague hub hosting staff benefits, a wellbeing centre, reward and recognition as well as a SmartSpending discounts app with exclusive member offers.
• Membership to the local Junior Lawyer Division, a social and educational network connecting junior lawyers in the region
• Sponsorship towards future SQE studies
