Scottish Training Contracts

First things first, all of our trainees are the people who’ve impressed us in our early career programmes. In fact, we only recruit trainees from our vacation scheme and our internal paralegals. If you do well there, you could join us on a training contract in our Edinburgh or Glasgow offices.

Reimagine your future

As a trainee here, you’ll have the opportunity to work with our household-name clients, and as well as exceptional training across all of your seats, we’ll support your development in a number of ways. If you have ambition, we’ll help you harness it and use it to create a career without boundaries.

Due to sponsorship salary threshold, if you will require sponsorship to complete a Training Contract, please apply to the London Vacation Scheme, as the Scottish Trainee salary does not meet the sponsorship threshold.

Where you could work

Our Scottish offices have a strong litigation focus. That means, regardless of where you choose to apply, you're guaranteed to have first-hand access to our leading litigation teams.

Edinburgh

Our Edinburgh office focuses mainly on the insurance sector. Our services include dispute resolution, professional liability, healthcare and employment. The heart of our practice in Edinburgh is defender personal injury claims. We represent insurance clients and public authorities in all aspects of employers’ liability, public liability and motor claims. We provide proactive advice and dispute resolution experience for everything from low-cost settlements to periodic payments. We also have a number of dual qualified fee earners and solicitor advocates, appearing in courts across Scotland and on appeal to the Supreme Court.

Glasgow

Our Glasgow office provides services to insurers, public authorities and emergency services, advising on employer’s public and motor liability claims, plus a range of employment, health & safety and regulatory issues. We handle damages claims ranging from low velocity impact road traffic accidents to catastrophic claims, and from occupational disease to fatalities. We regularly handle issues of fraud and credit hire and our personal injury lawyers (as accredited by the Law Society of Scotland) and Solicitor Advocates have a wealth of experience addressing complex cases.
