Butler & Co Solicitors is a highly regarded firm specialising in mental health and Court of Protection work. We are seeking a trainee solicitor to join our expanding practice.

Our office is based in Taunton, Somerset but we represent clients across the South West and beyond.

We pride ourselves on providing robust representation to vulnerable clients, many of whom are either detained under the Mental Health Act or subject to the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.  Our firm aims to ensure that our client’s voices are heard and that their legal rights are protected.

The role is both demanding and diverse and we seek an enthusiastic trainee who can offer the following:

  • An interest in representing vulnerable adults and young people, in particular those with a mental disorder;
  • An ability to communicate effectively with both professionals and lay clients;
  • An ability to work both independently and as part of a team; and
  • A commitment to legal aid work.

In return we will offer:

  • Hands on experience with clients and case work;
  • Opportunity to develop client skills;
  • Opportunity to develop case preparation and advocacy skills; and
  • Support from an experienced and diverse team;
  • Competitive salary

Due to the nature of our work you will be required to drive to visit clients.  A UK driving licence and access to a vehicle will therefore be essential.
