Trainee Solicitors

Why choose Peters & Peters?

We are a leading London practice with an outstanding reputation. Our work is fascinating. You could be a key part of our team in a complex fraud case and have direct contact with the clients and counsel. You might also be asked to assist in obtaining an urgent civil search and seizure order on behalf of a corporate claimant for example.

We are a friendly firm with a supportive culture. We regard our trainees highly and make every effort to help them become fully integrated into the practice both in our work and socially. We have an excellent retention rate. Four of our nine partners trained with us.

What do we do?

We specialise in the following areas of work:

• Criminal fraud
• Commercial litigation including international asset tracing work
• Regulatory matters
• Extradition and mutual legal assistance
• Corporate compliance

What will you do?

As a trainee you will train in three separate seats:

• Business Crime
• Commercial litigation/civil fraud
• A non-contentious area of law e.g. corporate, dependent upon which exciting secondment you undertake.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for trainees with strong academic qualifications. We recruit from a wide range of universities, taking both law and non-law graduates who have achieved a degree at 2.1 level or above. Given the nature of our international practice, we are particularly interested in meeting candidates with fluency in foreign languages.

You must be committed to hard work and to a steep learning curve. Ideal candidates will have drive, enthusiasm and a sense of humour. Ours is very much a people business so you will also have to demonstrate strong presentation and communication skills.
