We are always happy to hear from talented, dynamic people who are interested in joining our team. Irrespective of your own experience and practice area; whether you are a senior partner or a newly qualified solicitor or legal executive, if you have the potential to bring something extra to Milners, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Milners offers training contracts to graduates of varying ages and from a variety of backgrounds. We are willing to consider non-law graduates. Applicants for a training contract are expected to possess an impressive academic record and enthusiasm for a career in the law. There are a wide range of practice areas available for trainees to experience and our training contracts are flexible to allow the development of rounded new solicitors.
As part of our commitment to assisting the solicitors of the future we offer student placements for obtaining experience and an appreciation of working in the law as opposed to studying it. These can last from a single day to two weeks and can also be flexible to the individual circumstances of the student.
We also welcome enquiries from enthusiastic people wishing to provide support to our solicitors. We recognise the contributions of our secretarial and office staff and as a result look to secure the most talented available. Opportunities are available for those interested to develop additional skills in areas such as IT and train for and gain legal and other qualifications.
Where we have an opening, we assess all applicants on the basis of their ability and personality.
We also accommodate flexible and part time working where individual circumstances require.
If you are interested in joining Milners please send an up to date CV to Giles Ward or Simon Bass.
