Your two-year training contract includes four six-month rotations, giving you exposure to a variety of teams and practice areas. You will complete at least one Insurance seat and one Corporate & Commercial or Disputes seat, developing your commercial and legal skills while gaining a solid understanding of our business. You may also have the opportunity to be seconded to one of our clients as an in-house lawyer, allowing you to build genuine relationships with the people behind the cases. In addition, there may be the chance to spend six months of your contract seconded to our Hong Kong or Singapore offices.
Deadline to apply is 27th June 2027 via online application form. Recruitment for our London Training Contract begins with an online application form, followed by our new online early talent assessment, introduced in September 2025.
If you are shortlisted, you will then be invited to an in-person assessment day in August. This includes a variety of exercises designed to help us understand your strengths and potential. You will also meet some of our Partners, Associates and Trainees, giving you a real insight into our unique culture. If you are successful following the assessment day, your training contract will start two years later.
Along with a competitive annual salary, you’ll be offered a creative and comprehensive package of benefits. We’re all unique. And that’s why RPC’s benefits package is too. We respect we’re all real people with passions, families and lives away from our desks. We encourage that. So, we offer you the chance to tailor your benefits, giving choice and flexibility to everyone who works here. Our benefits package covers almost everything, from wellness festivals and social events to extra annual leave, and family and wealth-related rewards.
