If it does not, this could impact your application, and it may mean that we cannot give it full consideration.</li><li>We will take mitigating circumstances relating to your academic record into consideration. Please provide full details of your mitigating circumstances with your application, and include written evidence from the examining body/relevant academic institution and/or verification by a third party such as your doctor or tutor.</li><li>The closing date for 2027 recruitment is 31 July 2025. Applications received after this date will not be considered.&nbsp;</li><li>Candidates will be selected and invited for video and in-person interviews at our Leeds office in August.&nbsp;</li><li>Offers will be made shortly after the interviews have taken place.</li><li>Sadly, we cannot reply to all applications, but if you have applied and have not heard from us by the end of August 2025, please assume that your application has been unsuccessful.</li></ul>We are committed to providing equal opportunities in employment.What does the training look like?For our training contracts (i.e. transitional arrangement two-year ‘periods of recognised training’) we offer seats in three or four of the following areas:<ul><li>Property</li><li>Private client, trusts, probate and tax planning</li><li>Pensions</li><li>Charities (including employment, company and commercial, social enterprise)</li><li>Court of Protection</li><li>Wrigleys undertakes no litigation or contentious work as such, but training and experience in contentious matters (as is required by the SRA Practice Skills Standards) is available through secondment to another firm.</li></ul>For SQE candidates, we will broadly replicate the training contract, with seats as described above providing two years of Qualifying Work Experience with us. &nbsp;Our small recruitment intake will enable us to adapt to suit the experience, aspirations and interests of the individuals we recruit.Trainees at Wrigleys are given early responsibility and make an important contribution to our teams. We offer competitive trainee and NQ salaries, and we have excellent retention rates on qualification.Does Wrigleys provide funding?If you are entering the profession through the SQE route, we will require you to do up to the full two years’ QWE with us, and to attend an SQE preparatory course at a training provider of our choice. &nbsp;We expect this to be a one-year full time Master’s course. &nbsp;Subject to agreeing the detailed terms with you, Wrigleys will pay the cost of the SQE preparatory course and the cost of the SQE exams. &nbsp;If you are looking to pursue the legal apprenticeship route, please apply and we can discuss funding.We do not provide any funding for the GDL or LPC.Important Dates<ul><li>Application deadline: 31 July 2025</li><li>Interviews: August 2025 (video and in-person at our Leeds office)</li><li>Offers made shortly after interviews have taken place</li></ul>
