The next generation
For generations, we’ve been building a reputation for our comprehensive and personal approach to law. Our legacy translates directly into our dynamic Trainee Solicitor Programme, designed to prepare and inspire the next generation of top legal professionals.
Each year, we welcome between three and six trainees to join our team. Our new bespoke training contract will last two years and nine months, providing full exposure to both contentious and non-contentious law, preparation time and funding for the SQE exams, business skills training and high quality supervision.
from past trainees
The firm is friendly and approachable, and colleagues are always willing to offer support and guidance. I have been given the opportunity to work on complex matters, gain valuable client exposure, and take a hands-on role in my work from an early stage.
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.
