Opportunities for graduates & students
Choices, choices, choices. Throughout your traineeship you will be encouraged to make choices that will define and mould your future career, but how do you make the most important decision of all?
When it comes to selecting where you’d like to undertake your training, what are the factors that matter the most to you? When describing the law firm you’d like to work for, would you choose the words ambitious, collaborative, dynamic, enterprising, friendly, supportive? Well, recent trainees at Harper Macleod did.
We pride ourselves on being open and transparent in our way of working. As a result, our Partners take a fundamental role in developing our Trainees for the future.
During your 2 year Traineeship you can also look forward to getting involved with groups, such as social, wellbeing and sustainability, as well as providing pro-bono work to charities and up-and-coming entrepreneurs, trainee and networking events, and much more!

The application process for Traineeships commencing in 2022 will open early in 2022.

What can you expect as a trainee?
Deborah Alexander, 2017 Trainee following 2015 Summer Placement
I assisted two of the firm’s solicitors with obtaining Confirmation on a number of executries and conducted a will review to ensure all wills which were held on file were accurate and up to date. I had previously undertaken placements with other firms however my placement with Harper Macleod was different – I really felt that I was being given the chance to be involved in ‘real’ client-facing legal work for the first time.

Victoria Robinson, 2017 trainee
Harper Macleod stood out to me because of its business-minded nature to provide practical solutions in an evolving business environment. It is a firm that puts the client at the centre of everything they do and I was keen to be a part of this client-based approach.
