At Ward Gethin Archer, we are committed to developing the next generation of solicitors through a range of accessible and supportive qualification routes. Whether you are a graduate, career changer, or school leaver, we offer structured pathways to qualification tailored to your background and ambitions.
Across all routes, Ward Gethin Archer is committed to offering Trainee Solicitors the opportunity to learn within a supportive environment. Our intention is to ensure our Trainees qualify with all the knowledge and experience they need for a successful career in law and more importantly with a desire to stay and continue to grow within our firm. Many of our current Directors started as Trainees at the firm and to date we have always offered a contract of employment to those that complete their Training Contract with us.
We aim to provide a flexible approach that allows our Trainees to gain more experience within departments that they enjoy, have a particular interest in and show an aptitude for.
We are passionate about offering a personal service to the local community and as a Trainee there are likely to be several opportunities to be involved in local charity events and fundraising alongside your legal training.
We look for motivated, commercially aware individuals who are committed to delivering excellent client service and developing a long- term career with us.
Many of our current Directors trained at Ward Gethin Archer and we understand that work experience is a great way for those at the start of their career to get a better understanding of what their future career could entail. We are also keen to find potential future employees who we can look to assist in qualification and retain within the firm to potentially become a future Director themselves.
