As a Trainee Solicitor at LegalVision, you will play a critical role in bringing this mission to life.

If you are excited about the prospect of launching your legal career in an innovative and growing business that offers challenging work, a fast-paced startup environment, and impressive professional development opportunities, then we'd love to hear from you

The Opportunity

Due to the ongoing growth of the firm, we're looking for Trainee Solicitors undertaking the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE) route to qualification to join our team.

This intake will include full-time roles in the following practice areas:

  • Corporate & Commercial
  • Employment & Health and Safety
  • Leasing & Franchising
  • Trade Marks

There will be no rotations. When submitting your application, please indicate your preferred practice area/s.

Successful candidates must be available to commence full-time work in our Manchester office in July 2024.

You will receive comprehensive formal and on-the-job training focused on technical legal knowledge, matter management, client service and meeting professional obligations, to give you a strong understanding of the legal needs of our commercial clients, and to meet the requirements of your Qualifying Work Experience (QWE).

What You'll Be Doing

Under the supervision of our Practice Leaders and Senior Associates, a typical day may include (among other things, and depending on your practice area):

  • Providing oral and written advice to clients on a broad range of legal matters (including as part of our industry leading Legal Advice Consultation service).
  • Corporate & Commercial: Drafting, reviewing and advising on a broad range of corporate and commercial matters, including website terms and conditions, privacy policies, supply agreements, SaaS agreements, as well as business structuring, incorporating companies, shareholder agreements, articles of association and employee share option schemes.
  • Employment & Health and Safety: Drafting and advising on a broad range of employment and health and safety law matters, including employment contracts, settlement agreements, staff handbooks, and health and safety policies, as well as assisting with contentious employment matters, including pre-tribunal advice and tribunal claims.
  • Leasing & Franchising: Advising on all aspects of commercial leasing and franchising law, including drafting, reviewing, and negotiating leases, subleases, and assignments, and preparing franchising agreements, assisting and advising clients with initial franchise structuring and set-ups, and advising clients on the management of their franchise network.
  • Trade Marks: Advising and assisting clients on Intellectual Property protection, including registering trademarks and managing their trademark portfolios.
  • Conducting legal research.
  • Assisting other practice areas as required, including Dispute Resolution.
  • Participating in role plays to improve your client service skills, or having a team lunch on the rooftop.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Eligible: You are a SQE qualification pathway candidate and you have successfully completed your SQE1 assessment (or equivalent).
  • Wants to do things differently and isn't the average trainee: You have an entrepreneurial mindset and are keen to grow as a solicitor in an innovative environment.
  • Passionate about the client experience: You are focused on your clients and you're dedicated to creating experiences that exceed client expectations.
  • Personable, empathetic and resilient: You are friendly, warm and professional. You celebrate the ups, and push through and learn from the downs.
  • Cool and calm under pressure: You are an organised and efficient worker, and can effectively manage competing priorities.

The Perks

  • Fast-paced startup environment with accelerated growth opportunities for high performers.
  • Talented teammates across the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
  • 25 days holiday (excluding bank holidays) plus contractual sick pay.
  • Annual budget to spend on external learning and development opportunities.
  • Regular team socials, drinks and meals.
  • Study support for your SQE 2 exam.
  • Birthday leave, and enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
  • Vibrant office environment in Ancoats (with a rooftop) + WFH options.

If joining LegalVision as a Trainee Solicitor sounds like the perfect move for your legal career, we'd love to hear from you
