Birmingham Direct Training Contract 2028
Apply for a training contract at Gowling WLG. Gowling WLG is an international law firm built on the belief that the best way to serve you is to be in tune with your world, aligned with your opportunity and ambitious for your success.
Treated as a lawyer from day one, you’ll enjoy early responsibility, international opportunities and exposure to high-profile work as you learn from legal experts across the globe. Our training contracts consist of four six-month seats with a full induction to help you settle into life here.
From broad-ranging practice areas, your programme will typically include a contentious seat, a non-contentious seat, a real estate seat and an optional seat (which could be an international secondment or working for a client). You’ll get involved in interesting casework for a wide range of clients, with top-tier training in a high-performing, supportive culture. There are also two twelve-month sector seats to broaden trainees\' understanding of the firm and the market, expanding networks and commercial awareness.
There will be continuous learning with one-to-one guidance from a partner mentor, a dedicated supervisor, the early talent team and a strong network of legal experts around you. Prior to your training contract, we sponsor you to complete the Postgraduate Diploma (law conversion course) and/or LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2), as applicable at the University of Law. Our grant covers course fees, plus a maintenance grant per course (£7,000 in London or £5,500 in Birmingham).
Applications will close on Wednesday 19 November 2025; early application is strongly advised.
