The Training Contract

A training contract with Higgs is a little different from those of other firms.

You will spend four-month seats in at least four different departments. As you near the end of your training contract, you may then have the opportunity of spending a 'double' seat in the department into which you wish to qualify.

Trainees share an office with their supervisors, generally a Partner, to ensure you are fully involved in all aspects of their work. Higgs also operates a genuine 'open-door' policy, so someone will always be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

You will be assigned a designated Partner as your 'mentor' throughout your training contract and into your first year as a qualified solicitor.
Your mentor is there to oversee your development and ensure that any questions or problems you may have are addressed swiftly.
