Why join the team at JCP as a Trainee?

Our Trainee Solicitor positions offer an exciting and comprehensive training programme over two years, with a variety of seats to be undertaken in a range of teams.

Alongside your professional external courses, you will also have access to a range of in-house courses and will attend two appraisal meetings with the Training Principal at the middle and end of each seat. These meetings will enable you to review your progress and discuss future skills and objectives to ensure you get the best out of your training contract.
