Training With Forsters

Every year Forsters takes on six trainees. The training contract at Forsters is divided into six four month seats, not the traditional four. Our aim in doing this is to allow you to sample more of the firm before making your decision about where you want to qualify. This also means that towards the end of your training contract you can revisit departments of specific interest to you.

Your first year will be split between three of the main groups which are Commercial Property, Residential Property, Corporate, Litigation and Private Client. In the second year in addition to these groups we also offer the opportunity to spend time in Family, Construction, Planning, Employment and Property Litigation.

We want you to feel part of our team from the outset. The training is very 'hands on' and we aim to give you as much responsibility as you are confident to handle. You will be actively encouraged to become a valuable member of the team, drafting documents, doing research and attending client meetings.
