Are you a law graduate dreaming of a stellar legal career but dreading the fierce competition for Firm training contracts?
You’re not alone. With around 30,000 law graduates each year in England & Wales and only 5,500 training contracts up for grabs, the odds can seem daunting.
But fear not, Kerv is here to save the day!
The Golden Ticket: In-House Training Contracts
While most training contracts are offered by law firms, only about 10% are available outside this traditional setting. These rare gems are generally found in government bodies, in-house legal departments and advice services.
And guess what? Kerv is now one of the few companies authorised by the SRA to offer a coveted in-house training contract!
Why Go In-House?
Choosing between practical training in-house or via a law firm is like deciding between a cozy home-cooked meal and a fancy restaurant dinner. Both have their perks, but it all boils down to your personal taste.
- Diverse Experience: In-house lawyers at Kerv get exposure to various legal fields and jurisdictions (due to our international reach), from employment law to intellectual property and a whole raft of others.
- Work-Life Balance: Say goodbye to the relentless grind of billable hours, in-house roles often offer a more balanced lifestyle.
- Deep Integration: Working in-house means you’re part of the Kerv family, contributing directly to its success.
