Baker & McKenzie - Training Contracts

Lasting two years, Training Contracts here at Baker McKenzie give you the opportunity to experience four of our key practice areas for six months each (known as seats). Our seat rotation policy ensures you experience different areas of law, including contentious law. Corporate work is at the heart of our firm, so all Trainees are required to complete six months in a transactional seat.

All Training Contracts start with a two-week induction programme. We’re strong believers in exposing Trainees to live work right from the start. So after your induction, you should have everything you need to start making a positive contribution to the firm. Throughout your Training Contract, you’ll be able to call on the personal and professional support of both our Graduate Recruitment & Development and Learning & Development teams.

Qualifications required

• At least a 2:1 degree
• A minimum of 340 UCAS points (under the old tariff), 136 UCAS points (under the new tariff) or an equivalent qualification
• Fast Track LPC with the BPP Law School, Holborn, London

We use a contextualised recruitment system, which enables us to consider those with real potential who fall slightly short of our criteria.
