Trainee Recruitment Programme

Our next trainee positions will be for 2027. Applications will be accepted from 1st June 2025 – 1st August 2025.

We make it a priority to ensure you’re well looked after during your training. Our proven track record of retaining our qualified trainees reflects this. Many of our partners initially joined us as a trainee.

All our trainees have received their Practising Certificates and we have enjoyed celebrating their success with them.

  • “As a growing and highly regarded firm, Laceys has provided me with a fantastic start to my career. My training principal worked with me to form a training programme that not only suited the firm, but also took my interests into account. I experienced comprehensive training in every seat which gave me fantastic grounding to know the area I wanted to specialise in when qualified. I would certainly recommend Laceys to anyone looking to work in this profession.”

    Ella Gould, Solicitor - Corporate and Commercial / Employment

  • “Laceys has provided me an excellent start to my career. My training contract was well structured but also flexible as I was able to choose the practice areas I wanted to gain experience in. I worked closely with a number of different partners and being able to discuss their practice areas with them in depth helped me decide the practice area I wanted to specialise into. The level of support I received throughout my training contract exceeded my expectations and since qualifying the level of support has continued. I look forward to progressing my career with Laceys and would recommend training with Laceys to anyone starting their legal career. ”
