Roythornes Solicitors is a top 150 national law firm with five strategically located offices across the Midlands and East Anglia. We adopt a one-team ethos across all offices, with trusted advice being given by our recognised experts on a national spread. We pride ourselves on building longstanding relationships with our clients and bringing commercial know-how and lateral thinking to each case.

We are recruiting multiple trainee / apprentice solicitors from a variety of backgrounds and routes into legal qualification.

This is the 'updated' traditional route to qualification. Before qualifying, you will need to undertake practice-based training which can be undertaken full-time over two years or part-time over a longer period. Competition for practice-based training is fierce and you should probably start applying in the second year of your undergraduate studies. Your work will be closely supervised and regularly reviewed.

The key stages are:

• Degree in law (3 years)

• Solicitors Qualifying Exams (SQE 1 and 2)

• Practice-based training (often a Training Contract) 2 years Qualifying Work Experience (QWE)

The accountabilities within this role support our strategic framework, which includes:

• Being trusted advisors to our clients and colleagues

• Working to become recognised experts in our chosen specialisms

• Developing longstanding relationships with key clients and our internal teams
