A focus on detail

With a conscientious approach, you’ll have the ability to read and absorb large amounts of reference material and spot errors quickly. You’ll be a stickler for detail when it comes to your own writing too, ensuring it’s always clear and accurate.

An interest in business

We’re a commercial law firm, so you’ll have a genuine interest in how business works. That means keeping up to date with the latest business issues, as well as appreciating how legal expertise can support and steer commercial organisations.

Positive impact

With the self-assurance to voice your own opinions and defend your point of view when you need to, you’ll be a convincing and persuasive communicator. But you’ll also have the self-awareness to ask for help when you need it.

Our Candidate Attorneys complete four, six-month seats throughout their Contract of Articles. This gives you the necessary time to develop the legal and commercial depth of understanding required to take on real responsibility. Our aim is to give you broad exposure to different areas of the firm to maximise your options when you come to qualify.

We want you to have the best possible Candidate Attorney experience.
