Training Environment
Wragge & Co places considerable emphasis on transforming trainees into high quality, commercially-minded lawyers. You will spend six months in four different practice areas which usually are property, corporate and litigation, with a chance to specialise in a seat of your choice. From day one, you will work on live files with direct contact with clients, other solicitors and also be responsible for the management of the transaction and its ultimate billing. The more aptitude you show, the greater the responsibility you will be given. You will be supported by the Graduate Recruitment Team, a Partner who acts as a mentor to you throughout your training contract and a Supervisor who will co-ordinate your work and give you weekly feedback. Introductory courses are provided at the start of each seat in addition to the Professional Skills Course training requirements. This formal training complements 'on the job' learning and it is more than likely the firm's commitment to your development will extend well past the number of days recommended by the Law Society. Some of the courses will be residential, allowing you to reflect on your work practices away from the office environment and forge relationships and compare notes with your colleagues without the disturbances of your daily work.
