TLT Direct Training Contract 2028

TLT is a place where ambition and drive really matter. We want lawyers that push boundaries, ask questions and can solve complex problems.

Our training programme puts you at the heart of the action, you'll work on live projects and forge a career that rewards you. This is your opportunity to push boundaries, question convention, and solve complex problems. And as you build your skills, you can decide where your career takes you. You'll be part of an open and collaborative team where you can approach anyone for a conversation and get involved in causes that you care about.

Our training contract gives you the opportunity to grow your legal knowledge and business development experience. It's all about giving you real work, creating real results and getting recognition for your achievements.

We work with clients from the Clean Energy, Digital, Financial Services, Leisure, Food & Drink, Public Sector, Real Estate and Retail & Consumer Goods sectors. You will work in four different parts of our firm for six months each. This four-seat rotation process, including a contentious seat, gives you a fantastic opportunity to really experience the way we work and helps you to become an informed business advisor.

Your supervisor will work with you to boost your technical legal knowledge and sharpen your commercial instincts. Alongside your in-seat training, our Trainee Development Workshops will help you develop the right mindset for success as well as the focus and resilience you need for a career in law.

We're successful because we challenge convention and don't let tradition stand in our way. We're proud to do things differently. Individual thinking matters to us. We trust you to deliver great work for great clients, whatever your role.
