Applying for a training contract with a firm can be a challenging and worrying time, with many applicants finding themselves competing against numerous candidates for only a handful of positions.
Working as a paralegal before applying for trainee solicitor roles can not only assist you in building up your legal experience but can ultimately help you on your way to securing a training contract by making you stand out from the crowd.

June might have been something of a washout, but that didn’t stop over a hundred people turning out despite the downpour to join us in celebrating the launch of Age UK Nottingham & Nottinghamshire’s new campaign in collaboration with Rothera Sharp, aimed at tackling loneliness and isolation among older and vulnerable people in the county.

We are pleased to announce that three members of our staff have been promoted across our Nottingham offices.
