Even if they are not, they have the advantage of having acquired significantly more experience in family law than trainees in other high profile firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our trainees are encouraged to think about how they might develop their own client base after qualification and are supported in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our minimum requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A 2.1 degree (not necessarily law); and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A family law elective as part of the degree or Legal Practice Course; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Computer literacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fluency in a second language is an advantage, though not a requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are required&nbsp;to have passed both your GDL and LPC or both SQE1 and SQE2 before the proposed start date of the training contract. &nbsp;We regret we do not provide funding for the course fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We evaluate and shortlist all applications after the deadline for submission has passed so please do not expect to hear from us before then, other than an acknowledgment. Those shortlisted will be invited to attend an interview, followed by a second interview, if successful.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to apply<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To apply for a training contract, please download the Microsoft Word document and return the completed form by email to Partner, <a href=\"https:\/\/dawsoncornwell.com\/jp\/the-team\/helen-kings\/\">Helen Kings<\/a> on&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:helen.kings@dawsoncornwell.com\">helen.kings@dawsoncornwell.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/dawsoncornwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Training_Contract_Application_2028.docx\">Download an Application Form<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Opportunities to qualify with us.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2443,"parent":14,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-837","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Training contracts &#8226;
