About our training programme

Shakespeare Putsman is one of the Midland's largest law firms. Following our recent merger with Needham & James we are ranked in the top 100 UK law firms. With 43 partners and 340 staff we provide legal services to clients based throughout the UK.

Everyone can make a difference at Shakespeare Putsman. Whether a partner with 20 years of experience or a trainee who has been with us for just two weeks - anyone can make a positive contribution here. We recruit talented individuals with real ambition and many of our partners and senior lawyers trained and have made their career with us.

We value diversity and our lawyers come to us via many different routes. A sound academic background is always important but we're after that bit more - rounded individuals who are commercially aware and team players who have the ability to thrive in today's ever changing and challenging legal profession.

The selection criteria we use to assess all of our applicants is based on research we have carried out on the characteristics of our most successful lawyers. We promise we'll look for your potential and for those who join us, we'll do our very best to help you succeed.

We are now accepting applications for our 2011 trainee solicitor intake, find out how to apply here. The deadline for applications is 31 August 2010.
