Life as a trainee solicitor: In their own words
Discover the reality of life as a trainee, from seat rotations and responsibility to support, development, and succeeding in the role.
What is life as a trainee solicitor really like once you join a law firm? In this session, our panellists will share honest insights into the day-to-day reality of training contracts, from the work and responsibility trainees take on to the support they receive as they develop their skills. We'll explore seat rotations, vacation schemes, the qualities that help trainees succeed and the misconceptions that often surround the role, alongside the lessons our speakers wish they'd known before they started their own legal careers.
