Law is unusual in the modern world in that it still has a clearly defined career path. From the moment you come to us on a training contract, we can support you in your development, giving you the tools you’ll need to become a fully fledged trainee and hopefully progress through right until you become a partner.
That means giving you early exposure to real work for real clients. It means equipping you with the skills to be a good lawyer while developing your commercial acumen and leadership potential. In short, it means investing in your talent and giving you access to some of the best training, development and support in the industry - not just as a new graduate but throughout your career.
What we are looking for
Our business attracts great people and we've created an environment where they can achieve great things. So it will come as no surprise that Eversheds Sutherland is home to some of the most innovative and inspiring lawyers in the industry - or that we look for trainees with the ambition and enterprise to keep us ahead of the competition in the future.
True, you will need a strong academic background and proven ability to apply your intellect to complex problems. But that's just the start. Eversheds Sutherland trainees need to be multi-faceted people who combine extreme professionalism with genuine approachability and real personality.
While many trainees have studied law, we welcome applications from all degree disciplines. The reason is simple. The trainees from a non-law background bring a wealth of alternative experience that can only benefit a growing and diverse organisation like ours. You may have a background in business, a degree in an exacting science, a knowledge of foreign languages or even a record of holding positions of responsibility.
