Job details
The TLT SQE training programme places you at the centre of real legal work. From February to July 2027, you’ll study for and sit SQE1 before starting your four-seat training contract in September 2027. During your first two seats, you’ll prepare for and sit SQE2, supported by your team and supervisor.
You’ll gain hands-on experience, contribute to live projects, and be recognised for your impact, all while becoming a trusted advisor. When you’ve finished the training contract, you’ll qualify as a Solicitor in England & Wales and dual qualify into Northern Ireland, opening doors to work across multiple jurisdictions.
What You’ll Do
You’ll work on high-value cases and long-term client partnerships across sectors including Infrastructure, Future Energy, Digital, Financial Services, Leisure, Food & Drink, Public Sector, Real Estate, and Retail & Consumer Goods. With a variety of seat options depending on location, you’ll build technical legal expertise and sharpen your commercial instincts.
You’ll be part of an open, collaborative team where your supervisor supports your development and helps you shape your career. You’ll also have the chance to get involved in causes you care about and explore where your future could take you.
