Training Contracts 2019-2021 – REF: TC/2019                                                                 

Work with leading legal teams in a top tier law firm. Undertake your training contract where you can help provide access to justice. Make a difference.

The Leigh Day ethos remains the same as when the firm was set up in 1987, to make justice available to all, not just the rich and powerful. We work only for individuals, not the government or big business. A training contract with Leigh Day is your opportunity to work with some of the country’s best legal minds to seek justice for real people. We are a specialist law firm operating across personal injury, international, human rights, consumer law and product safety, clinical negligence, employment and discrimination.

You will be working with experts, training with some of the country's leading legal teams, who are not afraid to take on difficult, challenging and ground-breaking cases. That’s why people come to us, because they want answers; they want justice; they often need help to rebuild their lives. To learn more visit About Us

Based in our London (Clerkenwell) and Manchester offices we are over 400 strong (including 45 partners). Trainee Solicitors at Leigh Day will work closely with a Partner or senior lawyer in the firm and assist with all aspects of that lawyer's work.  These are challenging roles, but extremely rewarding, and a high standard of performance is expected.
