Your prospects

Many of our trainees stay with the firm after qualification, and several of our partners trained with the firm. We recruit each trainee on the basis that they may in future attain partnership; for outstanding candidates the prospects are excellent.

Our considerable investment in trainees has been recognised by LEX Magazine who, for 3 years running, have ranked us in the top 10 UK firms to train with. Ranking was based on the level of contact trainees had with clients, support from supervisors, the level of responsibility they receive, career development, the friendliness of the work environment and their overall job satisfaction.

We can't make any guarantees as much depends on how you perform and settle into the firm, however, we undertake appraisals during and at the end each seat change, every six months, and encourage you to discuss any concerns or training issues with your supervising partner so this will give you some indication of how you are performing.

Salaries are set at a very competitive level, and Browne Jacobson meets the cost of your GDL and LPC fees and pays a maintenance grant for both.

Other benefits include:

• competitive salary
• 34 days holiday (inclusive of statutory bank holidays) on commencement
• private health insurance
• life assurance
• gym discounts
• childcare voucher schemes
• and other negotiated corporate discounts

After one year, we offer additional benefits including pension and private medical insurance.
