Training Contract: more than just learning the law

Susan has created something in Accutrainee that doesn’t just provide an alternative route to qualification, but adds a lot more value to all parties concerned than may initially be obvious. For firms like mine, we benefit greatly from the partnership that takes our trainee’s development and technical competencies way further than we can do on our own in the same amount of time. I hired a paralegal. Our business is growing and our in-house legal needs are ever increasing and without me doing much extra, before long we shall have a newly qualified lawyer in someone that already knows us and our business. For him it’s a massive step for his career, all while remaining with us where he is settled, happy and in a sector that he is interested in.

I and the company I work for are truly grateful to Accutrainee for stepping in when we needed them and ensuring a smooth transition throughout. In-house Training Contracts are hard to come by, so I feel really lucky to have been able to remain with the distribution company and to start my career as a fully qualified solicitor in an in-house legal team. I would highly recommend Accutrainee.

My Accutrainee experience was fantastic from the minute I arrived at Accutrainee’s offices for the assessment centre! The quality of my training was excellent and there was plenty of support and guidance. Susan and the rest of the team always made themselves available when I needed advice or input.

I have met and worked with some wonderful people as part of my training contract, especially the other Accutrainees! We’ve had some really fun socials and it was always nice to get together to hear how the other trainees were getting on.

I did part of my training at an American law firm, which specialised in trade finance and part of it in-house for the asset management arm of a Swiss bank. I learned so much and made some great contacts. It also helped me work out what area of law I wanted to specialise in. I went into private practice on qualification and now work for a large asset manager. I think one of the things which really interested employers was the variety of my training and experience I was able to gain during my training contract. Things are going really well and I love my job.

I would highly recommend the Accutrainee route to anyone looking to do a training contract.

The trainees that have come to stay with us have been exceptionally bright, enthusiastic and a general pleasure to work with. We have continuously been able to rely on Accutrainee’ s rigorous recruitment process and across the board trainees have contributed to our firm within the first few weeks of starting their seat with us. Accutrainee offers guidance and training to their trainees as well and moreover provides a very flexible service model to us as a firm, which rounds up an excellent package being offered.

I would have difficulty to verbally express how grateful I am for all of your help. Regardless of whether I have asked for moral, admin, career or advise support, you have all been absolutely fantastic and efficient! I was dreading my training contract period before I “stepped” into Accutrainee but you have only made my life easier and actually managed to render the journey enjoyable! I have been constantly impressed by your professionalism, goodwill, positive attitude and willingness to help and improve!

As excited as I am to qualify, it is not without regret that I am “leaving” you!

I learnt a great deal from the team at Accutrainee before even being taken on by them. The team are committed to providing opportunities to those who may not succeed down the traditional training contract route. I believe that Accutrainee’s innovative training contract is the future, and I am glad to have been able to work with them.

The Accutrainee selection process is as rigorous as any other graduate recruitment programme I have applied for however where Accutrainee shines is that it really recognises the value of individuals with a breadth of experience and especially those who have overcome some form of adversity.

As a boutique litigation practice, we are very happy with the way in which Accutrainee has given us the flexibility to train talented young lawyers without us having to jump through the hoops of registering as a training institution ourselves.
