Training Contracts

Willkie's training contract provides an environment where junior lawyers can excel and be challenged, in a supportive environment. You will sit in four different practice areas, with a mix of partners and associates. The firm take your training seriously, and you will work alongside partners and associates in small teams on real matters from day one. Willkie's people work in small, nimble teams on high quality matters, so it is important that you are motivated, collaborative and able to pick things up quickly as you will receive a great breadth of work from the outset.

The firm was delighted to be named winner of ‘Best law firm for quality of work’ at The Legal Cheek Awards 2022. Willkie was also finalists in the following categories: partner approachability, perks, working from home and law firm of the year.

Vacation Schemes

Willkie is proud of its vacation scheme, which fully integrates candidates into working life in the London office. In every year the firm has recruited, 100% of those offered a training contract have accepted the offer.

Willkie has up to 20 places (in total) on paid spring and summer schemes. During your two weeks with the firm, you will share an office with a partner and an associate. You will undertake real, meaningful work and the firm will provide training that will enable you to showcase your potential. Willkie hopes that by the end of the two weeks, you will have met most of the firm's people at our vacation scheme-specific workshops, seminars and social events.

You will be supported throughout your time with Willkie, both by a partner mentor, your supervisors, a trainee buddy and the graduate recruitment team. You will be paid £500 per week.
