Shape the future of the Real Estate practice at Gowling WLG
We’re proud to be recruiting for Gowling WLG's dedicated Real Estate Training Contract – a unique opportunity to train within one of the UK’s most respected and high-performing real estate practices.
At Gowling WLG, we believe in developing talent from day one. As a Real Estate trainee, you’ll be entrusted with real work for household name clients. You’ll complete four six-month seats within our award-winning Real Estate Group, giving you deep exposure to the full range of property transactions, cases and projects.
You’ll work on landmark deals, supported by a close-knit team of legal experts who are passionate about mentoring the next generation of Real Estate lawyers. From planning and development to investment and litigation, you’ll gain the technical skills and commercial insight to thrive in a fast-paced, client-driven environment.
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.
Why choose the Real Estate Training Contract?
- Specialist focus: Immerse yourself in Real Estate from the start of your career, accelerating your development and building deep legal and sector expertise.
- Clear path to qualification: With a clear route into one of our busiest and most successful practice groups, you’ll be well-positioned to qualify into a team where demand for talent is high.
- Exceptional training: Benefit from a full induction, structured learning, and one-to-one support from a partner mentor, supervisor, and the Early Talent team.
- Broader exposure: You’ll also complete two sector-focused seats alongside your training contract to build your commercial awareness and network across the firm.
- Financial support: We’ll sponsor your Postgraduate Diploma (law conversion) and/or LLM Legal Practice (SQE1 & 2) at the University of Law, covering course fees and providing a maintenance grant (£7,000 for London trainees / £5,500 for Birmingham trainees).
