Traineeships
At Semple Fraser we made a conscious step change in our approach to traineeships and have not looked back since. Instead of circulating trainees round the various parts of the business, we adopted a fixed-seat approach, resulting in tangible benefits for trainees and the firm.
The benefits of a specialised traineeship:
- The opportunity to focus right away on a specific area of the law — getting experience that you’d otherwise have to wait for until you qualified.
- You will have more opportunities to develop your skills and get involved in more complex work early on.
- Through early exposure and contribution to a wide range of work, your identity quickly shifts from being “the trainee” to being a valued, integrated member of the team.
- When you qualify, you’ll be head and shoulders above your peers.
- A chance to work with some of the UK’s leading commercial law specialists (have a look at some recent deals).
- Ongoing support from a mentor.
- Regular appraisals and feedback.
