September 2023 edition – meet our trainees and solicitor apprentices

News

20.09.2023

Each September we welcome a new cohort of trainee solicitors to the firm. Their two year training period is divided into six “seats”, each lasting four months, this means our trainees get a really broad experience of our legal practice areas by the time they qualify as a solicitor.

Last year we also welcomed our first ever solicitor apprentices to the firm and we're delighted that two more have joined us this September for their six-year programme. They will spend their first two years rotating around our business services teams to develop a solid grounding in the firm’s operations and priority sectors. This will be followed by two years working and learning in legal teams completing a paralegal style role, and then a final two years in a trainee solicitor position, undertaking the firms’ six seat rotation before qualifying.

We are excited to introduce you to our new recruits and wanted to give you an opportunity to get to know them. Take a look at our magazine via the link below to find out more about their interests, what made them apply to Farrer & Co and tips for future applicants.
