Training Contracts at EAD

Why choose us?

EAD Solicitors is a medium sized Liverpool based practice with a strong reputation in providing the 'personal' touch. We work extensively with trade unions, local businesses and individual clients, who all receive the same expertise and commitment from us whether existing clients or instructing us for the first time…..our clients are our business.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for trainees who can enhance our practice with fresh ideas and share our passion for providing our clients with quality service that makes a difference……after all you are our future.
Ideally you should have a 2:1 degree, but we are also interested in applications from people with life experience above and beyond a law degree.

What can we offer you?

We offer comprehensive training in a choice of 4 out of 5 seats usually lasting a period of 6 months each over a 2 year training period. As a trainee you may find yourself, assisting on a criminal matter, working with our personal injury and road traffic accident teams, providing employment advice to union officers and their members or assisting in a commercial transaction. Whichever team you are with, we can promise you a friendly, modern environment and a challenging career ahead. Embarking on a career in law can be a daunting experience, but we are here to help you throughout your training contract. Stephen Cornforth is our training principal and he will look after your professional development and pastoral care, in conjunction with our human resource department.

As part of your development, you will attend our in-house law society accredited training programmes, as well as external courses and seminars to complete the Professional Skills Course. Our aim is to provide you with the skills you need to develop and we pride ourselves on offering the support you will need to begin your legal career.

What should you do now?

If you want to be part of our team and are excited by the challenge of a career in law, then please complete our online application form .

Undergraduates should apply in their final year of study. In all cases, applications should be sent by the end of August of the year preceding the start of the training contract. Initial interviews will take place in the autumn, an offer is made by the end of January. Training contracts commence at the start of September each year.

Each year we receive a large number of applications for the coveted position of trainee. Out of these, we will interview less than 10 and offer two places, so competition is tough, but don't let this deter you. If you have an impressive academic record, a determination to succeed, excellent written and spoken communication skills, we want to hear from you.

Please note that we will not be recruiting or accepting applications for trainee solicitors until April 2012.

Vacation Placement

We also offer the opportunity to taste life as a trainee during our summer vacation placement scheme. You will spend two weeks with us working directly with our own trainee solicitors. Application is by CV & covering letter to Rita Tracy, Human Resources at the address below.
