Graduate Training Programme

We welcome applications to our graduate training programme all year round, but generally work with the timeline outlined below every year:

• Applications are reviewed in January
• First and second-stage interviews are held in March
• Offers are sent out April onwards for a September start

You can start straight away upon graduation. We pay you a full salary and fully finance your fees at a leading law school to do the SQE and we release you one day a week to attend your courses.

With the new SQE route, whether you are a law or non-law graduate, you should be fully qualified in two years (as opposed to three by the conventional route).

Our trainees will be given the opportunity to attend and assist on our high-profile cases, growing into positions of considerable responsibility. Vardags is a supportive firm that recognises talent and hard work, and rewards results.

We welcome applications from bright and resilient individuals with a track record of achieving great results both academically and in their wider experience. You will be keen to take on a career in challenging litigation, where your ability to remain calm under pressure is critical. You want to use your strengths and creativity to drive extraordinary results for our clients. You know that you will flourish in demanding situations where your maturity and emotional intelligence will give you a competitive edge.
