Training contracts with Napthens
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. We are grateful for this interest and note each one. As a firm we have resolved to retain all enquiries which we review in January of each year. At that time we assess our recruitment needs and compile a shortlist of potential candidates 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
- 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. After matching the criteria, short-listed applicants will be invited for a formal interview with the Training Partner and Head of Human Resources.
Whilst as a firm we appreciate that Training Contracts can be reduced through the Law Society's 'Time to Count' scheme, it is Napthens’ policy that unless there are exceptional circumstances, all Trainees will undertake a 2-year Training Contract.
If you wish to apply for a position please send a CV and covering letter by email to human.resources@napthens.co.uk
Please note the application process for 2011 has now closed and any applications received with be held for Training Contracts for 2012.
