Solicitor Training Contract

We provide the two year Solicitor Training Contract route for those graduates who have their Legal Practice Certificate (LPC).  This route is only available to candidates who have already completed or are in the process of completing their LPC.  The Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) route has replaced this for new students.

You will usually have four six month seats and we always try to match these seats with your personal career interests, either commercial or private client, or both for those who’ve not yet decided.

During the two year period you will undertake the Professional Skills Course (PSC) at Northumbria University which will be funded as a part of your offer.

This programme is usually recruited for two years in advance of commencement, with applications for our 2027 intake now open. The deadline for applications is 30th June 2025.

For more information on this route, please contact Kate Sowerby, or to apply, please send us your CV and covering letter to yourfuture@burnetts.co.uk.
