Hear from Thorntons Trainees
Jack Chapman
While studying in Dundee I was very aware of Thorntons reputation as a leading Scottish law firm, and it being a full service firm appealed to me.
Since commencing my Traineeship, I have had the opportunity to experience a number of different areas of law, which has suited me as I wasn’t sure which area I wanted to specialise in when I qualified.
The training and support throughout the Traineeship is exceptional, not just from the senior lawyers but from all colleagues – everyone is more than happy to help when needed, regardless of how complicated or simple the question is.
Thorntons Training Contracts are very hands on from day one, and I have been pleasantly surprised by how quickly I have become involved in client work.
Paige McGee
When applying for Training Contracts I knew I wanted to be a part of a firm that was known to provide first-class client care, and an open and welcoming culture for colleagues. I chose Thorntons because the firm’s core values resonated with me.
The training at Thorntons has been invaluable. I have benefited from working alongside some of the best solicitors in the industry. I have been given autonomy over my own workload while always having someone on hand for support, if necessary.
Thorntons’ Training Contracts provide you with an opportunity to experience a variety of legal work, which affords you the skills to become a well-rounded solicitor.
Dean McCombie
I joined Thorntons before commencing my legal career and although it wasn’t my first experience of a law firm, it was definitely my best.
When it was time to apply for a Training Contact, I knew the firm I chose to begin my legal career with would be important to create a strong foundation, and my previous experience at Thorntons made it an easy choice.
The training and support provided to Trainees is exceptional. It helps settle you into your traineeship and equip you with the skills to really make an impact. There are a lot of opportunities to get involved both internally and externally, which gives you a chance to meet other colleagues and experience aspects of life at Thorntons other than legal work.
