Let's invest in your future
At Gowling WLG, we believe everyone brings something different. Our training contract is the perfect gateway to a legal career built on real impact, genuine support, and opportunities to shape your own path.
What is a training contract?
A two year route to qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales, counting as Qualifying Work Experience under the SQE. You'll work across four practice groups (Real Estate, Corporate Finance & Tax, Dispute Resolution, and Commercial, Employment & Pensions), completing four six month seats and gaining exposure to sector work, client opportunities, and even international secondments.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
