Trainees

Foot Anstey takes pride in the talent of our trainees and the rewarding, stimulating training contracts that we offer. In return, we are looking for people who show dedication and enthusiasm, with a drive and ambition to excel, alongside a strong team ethos.

We care about our trainees as we are creating our future solicitors. Trainees can expect to be welcomed into a friendly and supportive environment where they will find the quality and variety of work both challenging and rewarding.

With an impressive portfolio of regional, national and international clients, we offer specialist legal advice to businesses, public sector organisations and individuals. This enables us to offer trainees experience in different disciplines across our different offices. All trainees are entitled to the flexible, forward thinking ‘Choices’ benefits package.

We welcome applications from law and non-law graduates with established communication skills and strong academics. Selection is by attendance at an assessment day, which  takes place each spring and summer.

Foot Anstey seeks to recruit the best people, train and develop them to the highest standards, provide a dynamic career structure and reward them for their commitment to the firm and their dedication to client service.
