Training Contract 2028

Orrick also offers a Direct Training Contract route, primarily designed for those who are unable to complete a Vacation Scheme, as they recognise that not all applicants will be able to attend an in-person scheme.?The application form is the same for both routes of applying.?

If you set your standards high and have a strong work ethic then Orrick could be the firm for you. We are looking for bright, talented graduates of any discipline who are looking for a firm offering a broad based training contract. Applicants should have, or be on track to achieve, a 2.1 degree.

Orrick is a firm for those looking for a high level of responsibility from day one. We value team players and aim to give individuals the opportunity to flourish in an inclusive and supportive work environment, encouraging interaction across our international offices. We support learning through a focus on training and a structured mentoring programme that will provide trainees with the right foundation for building their legal career. A genuine open-door policy means trainees work closely with partners and associates. Our two-year training programme, made up of six four-month seats and regular appraisals, ensures consistent feedback and ongoing support.

Our dedicated Training Principal, Peter Sugden, oversees the supervision of our trainees.
