City law training contracts are exactly as they sound! London is host to a large number of law firms, generally known as ‘City law firms’. As London is considered a financial and cultural hub (home to the main offices of many banks and international organisations), many City firms boast a number of FTSE 100 listed companies as clients. London is also one of the cultural capitals of the world! This means you will most likely be within walking (or tube ride) distance of the best entertainment, restaurants, and pubs in the country! Great for trainee and firm socials!
City firms are also likely to have a number of offices abroad and engage in many international projects. You could get the opportunity to travel to the firm’s other offices. Many firms have international offices in locations like New York, Singapore, and Sydney to name a few! A training contract in city firm’s London office also means being amongst the highest paid trainee solicitors in the country. Trainee solicitors in London are likely to pocket between £35,000 and £43,000, and possibly more if the firm is an American one.
So if you like the idea of working in one of the world’s most exciting cities, the chance to work and travel abroad, and an attractive trainee salary, then take a look at the current city training contracts below! We work with top city law firms who are always searching for trainees to join. So search for your perfect city training contract!
