Shaping your career

Browne Jacobson are accredited with Investors in People and for 3 consecutive years has been voted one of the top 10 law firms to train with (LEX Magazine). This success demonstrates Browne Jacobson's continued commitment to the development of trainees and employees.

Your training with Browne Jacobson will be both practical and structured, and will take place in a friendly and supportive environment. You will spend four periods of six months working in some of the principal areas of the firm, will obtain an overview of our practice, and experience the realities and pressure of working in a leading law firm.

In order to help you make an immediate contribution in your first six-month seat, your training contract will begin with a comprehensive induction programme, which includes a "fast track" PSC within the first 2 weeks of joining. We have also introduced a series of learning modules which on completion lead to trainees being awarded a certificate from the Institute of Leadership and Management. As well as technical training, you can expect a full skills training programme including marketing, "working the room", time management and stress management. During your training with us you can expect to be given responsibilities and with appropriate support and supervision you will be developing your skill by working on your own cases.

Our system of three and six monthly appraisals ensures that there is a regular review of your progress allowing you the opportunity to discuss and assess at regular intervals your training, your strengths, and any areas where improvement is required with your current supervisor. Our training principal operates an open door policy and is available whenever required to discuss progress or any other issues that arise.
