What does this team do?
The lawyer of the future is evolving and so is the Deloitte Legal training contract. We want to offer you the very best experience possible, as you develop an exciting career in a changing legal services market.
We aren’t a traditional law firm, which is why we’re moving away from the traditional rotational framework. Our new model will give all our new joiners a “home practice group”, where you’ll develop a broad experience of our entire business and a strong professional network.
Below are just some of the potential areas that you could be your home practice during your training period at Deloitte.
Corporate Law
We work with a wide range of businesses, from smaller, fast-growth firms to large global companies. Projects include advising on the funding of a technology company or buying, selling, or reorganising a global multinational firm.
Commercial Law
At the intersection of law and technology, we advise clients on leveraging the latest technologies, from AI to blockchain. Supported by the best legal technology, you will negotiate and deliver a range of commercial agreements, providing compliance advice to those operating in a dynamic, ever-evolving regulatory environment.
Employment Law
Our team advises both UK-based and global clients on the full range of employment law issues. Many employment issues straddle more than one subject area, so you’ll frequently be part of a wide-ranging team.
Pensions
We assist clients in navigating the legal aspects of various pension schemes, collaborating with sponsoring employers and pension scheme trustees.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Real Estate
Working with developers, investors, occupiers and public bodies, the team has a wealth of experience in advising on major projects across a wide variety of sectors, delivering both routine and highly complex transactions.
What skills and academic qualifications do I need?
You will need to have obtained or be studying towards a 2:1 in a law degree, or commendation in Graduate Diploma of Law (GDL) or Common Professional Examination (CPE) qualification.
You must be due to have met the above academic requirements by September 2027 to start in the Autumn 2027 cohort.
We have identified 10 core skills that are essential to all our roles in Early Careers. To learn more about these skills and their detailed descriptions, please visit the 'Discover What We Look For' section in our Candidate Zone.
What kind of work will I do?
Our Training Model Involves New Joiners Being Allocated To a “home” Practice Group, And While You Won’t Have Formal Rotations, You Will Still Experience Other Teams And Areas Of Our Business During Your Time With Your Home Practice. This Will Allow You To Specialise As Early As Possible In Your Career. You Will Be Allocated a “home” Team Rather Than 5 Six-month Seats In Different Groups And While There Are No Formal Rotations, You Will Get a Broad And Rich Experience Of Working In/with Other Teams That Are Aligned With Your “home” Team Via

Where will I work?
At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.
All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team.
How will I develop?
A Deloitte Legal Training Contract allows you to qualify as a solicitor through the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE).
You’ll then continue to have ongoing mentorship and training throughout your career.
