So, what do you stand to gain? Friends, experiences, skills - a great start to your legal career as a solicitor. Oh, and did we mention that we offer a good salary too?

To give you an idea of our salaries, our current first year trainees receive £32,000 per annum and second year trainees, £34,000. Our benefits package includes 25 days holiday, season ticket loan, life assurance, critical illness cover, personal accident cover, private healthcare, pension, individual performance and firm-wide bonus schemes, and subsidised surveying costs.

If you're offered a training contract with us, we also offer to pay the costs of your GDL and/or LPC course fees, as well as providing a maintenance grant of £5,000 for each.

And "is there a good work-life balance" I hear you ask? Well, there may be times where as a trainee, you'll have to stay late or work beyond your normal hours. That said, we really do have a genuine commitment to getting the right balance, and recognise that this is a key feature in attracting and retaining talented people such as yourselves.

Here are just a few of our work-life balance initiatives:

• Flexible working arrangements
• Enhanced maternity and paternity schemes
• Subsidised staff canteen
• Regular social events - we've even got our own Social Committee!
• Subsided gym membership
• Regular chair massage/reflexology sessions
• 'Change of gear' policy - we want you and our clients to be comfortable at work so we've adopted a less formal dress code for all staff
• Our qualified associates have a target of 1200 hours (chargeable work) per annum, so there should still be time for you to have a great life outside work too
