Build your future on our strong foundations.

Applications are now being accepted for our 2027 and 2028 Training Contract.

At our firm, heritage isn’t something we just talk about. It’s the foundation of how you’ll learn to practise law: with integrity, rigour, discretion, and genuine courtesy. These aren’t old‑fashioned ideas, they’re the qualities that help you earn trust, build relationships, and deliver advice that can be relied upon.

As a Trainee, you’ll learn to treat law as a craft: to think clearly, write precisely, and understand why details matter. You’ll be supported by people who combine real authority with real humanity – experienced lawyers who don’t just teach you the law, but help you develop judgment, confidence, and your own professional voice. But being “traditionally modern” – our overarching ethos –  also means you’ll join a firm that doesn’t stand still. You’ll be encouraged to bring fresh thinking, challenge assumptions, and anticipate what clients will need tomorrow, not just today. You’ll work with clients who expect thoughtful, tailored advice, and you’ll be exposed early to meaningful, varied, and often complex work. It’s an environment that’s progressive without being chaotic, structured without being rigid, and ambitious without losing its personal touch.

If you’re looking for a training contract where you can grow into a well-rounded, commercially aware lawyer – supported, trusted, and encouraged to think for yourself – Collyer Bristow is exactly where you’ll find it.

You are now able to apply for our 2027 and 2028 Training Contract. The closing date for applications is midnight on Thursday 25 June 2026.
