from past trainees
My experience as a trainee at TWM Solicitors has so far been invaluable. It has given me the opportunity to learn multiple different practices and from different fee earners which has allowed me to develop both professionally and personally. It has been a very rewarding experience.
From the outset, I received a warm welcome at TWM, and my experience since has been both rewarding and enriching. Your training contract period can feel daunting and overwhelming, but being a trainee at TWM has turned this experience into one that's enjoyable.
I started my legal journey completing my Law Undergraduate Degree at the University of Kent, and completed my LPC at the University of Law in Guildford. My time at TWM has been enjoyable so far, with friendly and approachable colleagues whom I have learnt lots from.
TWM is a firm where you can thrive and be valued for the work that you do. The teams I have been apart of do not shy away from involving trainees in important work, boosting my confidence and skill set as I look towards qualification.
