Training Programme

The purpose of the training contract is to give trainees a mix of experience and skills that will set you up in a legal career as a solicitor with Kennedys. Our ability to consistently offer the majority of trainees positions on qualification is attributable to producing newly qualified lawyers who are competent, confident and commercially driven. A balance of work experience, responsibility, supervision and formal training achieves this. We ensure that our trainee solicitors are given a sound training in the core disciplines. You are given a good level of responsibility early on, dealing with varied areas of work. We have an open-door policy and partners and supervisors are readily accessible.

You will be a valued member of the team from the start, working alongside experience solicitors and partners in a relaxed and open plan environment.

Seats

We offer four seats, spending 6 months in each of our divisions: company commercial, dispute resolution, liability and workplace. You will get the opportunity to work with clients from a variety of different sectors. As well as working at Kennedys, you could also experience a secondment to a client office.

Locations

We offer training contracts in our London, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Chelmsford and Cambridge offices.
