Genesis Legal Partners – Legal Graduate Training ProgramGenesis Legal Partners – Legal Graduate Training ProgramYour PLT may only take 15 days.
Your development shouldn't.We don't just want you to complete your PLT.
We want to help you become a solicitor.The transition from law school to legal practice can be challenging.A graduate can complete their degree and practical legal training while having had relatively limited exposure to the day-to-day realities of working in a law firm.At Genesis Legal Partners, we believe there should be a better pathway.We are looking for motivated law graduates who want to develop genuine practical experience, build confidence and learn what it takes to become a capable solicitor.Our approach is easy:Give you the opportunity.
Train you properly.
Give you increasing responsibility.
Assess your development.
