Applications are considered by our training principal, who selects between 8-16 candidates for interview.</li><li>A formal interview by a panel of partners, plus a short written assessment exercise.</li></ol>Our minimum academic requirements are a 2.1 degree, not necessarily in law, and a minimum of 128 UCAS points from 3 A levels or the IB equivalent.We are now inviting applications for training contracts (up to two) commencing in September 2026.All applications and any enquiries should be directed to <a href="mailto:debbie.ellis@gabyhardwicke.co.uk" target="_blank">debbie.ellis@gabyhardwicke.co.uk</a>.
