At Hill Dickinson
We believe the best lawyers are those who are genuinely passionate about the sectors they work in. That's why our unique training contract allows you to tailor your experience and develop your expertise in the areas that interest you most.
About the Training Contract
Over the course of your two-year training contract, you'll complete four six-month seats, gaining hands-on experience across at least three different teams while developing the skills and confidence needed to succeed as a solicitor.
Our Newcastle training contract allows you to gain experience and develop your expertise with access to seats in all three sectors: Business Services, Health, and Marine.
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.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible to apply, you must be able to commence your training contract in September 2029 and begin SQE studies in 2028. This means you will likely need to be in the second year of a law or non-law degree to be eligible.
Insight Day
In conjunction with your training contract application, you can apply to attend an insight day in the UK office you have applied to. While attendance is optional, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of this valuable opportunity where you can gain insight into our business groups, meet the people you could potentially work alongside, and develop a deeper understanding of our clients, sector, and culture.
