Trainee Solicitor

Having worked as a Paralegal at Devonshires before becoming a Trainee, I have always enjoyed the challenges, the early responsibility and the excellent training that I have received from a really supportive, approachable and knowledgeable team.  I have also enjoyed the opportunities to manage my own files and build relationships with clients.  I chose to do my Training Contract at Devonshires because I knew that I would enjoy similar early responsibility and excellent training as a Trainee.

I was equally impressed with the variety of seats available, the firm’s ethos and the fact that it is a friendly, welcoming and down-to-earth firm.
