We expect our trainees to have a minimum of 360 UCAS points and a 2.1 degree. You will also need to be articulate in both written and verbal forms as you will need to communicate technical concepts clearly and concisely. Other skills that are needed include analytical skills, commercial awareness and the ability and confidence to talk to clients and other professionals who may or may not share your technical background.

You must demonstrate an interest in law have proven analytical abilities and excellent written and verbal communications skills.
