If you are interested in becoming part of the team here at Balfour + Manson you can prepare for admission in 2012 by following the procedure laid out below.
Please note that we are no longer accepting applications for traineeships starting in 2011.
We will recruit legal trainees to commence in August 2012. Applications will be invited from 1 June 2011 with a closing date for applications of 1 August 2011. We are a large Edinburgh firm with Litigation, Commercial and Private Client (including Property Services) Departments.
Trainees can expect a varied traineeship and will experience work in more than one department but can expect to be in the Litigation Department for at least one year of the two year traineeship. We expect all our trainees to obtain a Limited Practising Certificate after their first year. We will pay the cost of this, along with the cost of admission as a Solicitor and the cost of the Professional Competence Course.
We offer 26 days holiday per year of employment. We accept Trainee Applications only between 1 June and 1 August each year, and only after you have received your degree result. To obtain a copy of our application form please contact Luisa Deas.
Please note that due to the large number of applications which we receive each year, we are unable to offer individual feedback to candidates at the application stage.
Applications can be submitted either by post to the above address or by email to: Diane Watson. You can also request an application form to be sent to you by phoning 0131 200 1200.
