Training Contracts

Our objective is to provide trainees with stimulating and challenging work. A strong academic background is essential, together with good communication and interpersonal skills.

The two year training contract is typically divided into 4 seats, approximately 6 months in duration.

In each of your seats you will work closely under the supervision of a partner/associate, meeting clients and becoming involved in all aspects of the department’s work. The allocation of seats is based on the firm’s growth objectives and the fee earning requirements of individual departments, but we also consider your own preferences wherever possible.

When and how to apply

If you feel that a career at KBL is right for you, please write to Phyllis Templeman with your C.V. Applications for training contracts should be submitted by December in the year preceding the start of the training contract.
