Training Contracts With Napthens

Napthens is a developing legal practice with offices in Preston, Longridge, Bamber Bridge and Blackburn which we are keen to develop. Indeed, we have recently merged with offices in Blackpool and Chorley which will help us to become one of the largest firms in Lancashire.

Students often write to us with a CV in the hope of securing a training contract or with a view to registering their interest in working with Napthens. As a practice we are grateful for this interest and note each one in detail. We have resolved to retain all enquiries which we will review in February and September of each year. At that time we will assess our recruitment needs and compile a shortlist of potential recruits based on:

•  a minimum 2:1 degree in an academic subject
•  clear examples of client / customer relationships
•  a proven ability to deliver successful projects
•  a clear ability to work within a team structure
•  commercial awareness within Legal practice
•  clear communication skills and
•  competency with IT facilities

Even where these criteria are matched, additional qualities can often be applied by the requirements of the Division seeking to recruit a trainee within our Firm. These criteria will then result in short-listing a maximum number of approximately 10 applicants.
