Excellence, commitment and development are not words we use lightly in our graduate training programme. In every respect, they are words that lie at the very heart of our business and our culture. Our success is a reflection of the professional and personal fulfilment of our people. That's why we place so much emphasis on creating a work environment that provides opportunities, encourages participation and fosters achievement.

Many of our partners and senior lawyers joined as graduates and are now widely respected experts in their chosen field of specialism. This stands as
testament to the challenging and stimulating culture of the practice and the personal and professional opportunities presented by a dynamic and cosmopolitan city. 

Candidates who have been offered and have accepted a Training Contract with the firm may be eligible for full sponsorship for tuition fees whilst studying for the Diploma in Law (if applicable) and the Legal Practice Course. Veale Wasbrough also offers an interest free loan to help with living expenses.

The closing date for applications is 31 July. Interviews are carried out during July and August, with offers being made on or after 1 September, for a place commencing in September two years later. This year Training Contracts are available commencing September 2009 and 2010.

Work experience

If you are interested in pursing a career in law, we provide a limited number of opportunities for students to spend a week with us during the Summer to gain work experience. This is not paid employment, but offers a valuable insight into the day to day workings of a large, progressive firm of commercial lawyers.

Applications should be made by email using a training application form (links to training application form) or by submitting your CV to opportunities@vwl.co.uk before the end of March, for the following summer.
