Trainee Info

Whilst vacancies may arise from time to time in particular offices, Kidd Rapinet recruit trainee solicitors each September in the London office and every other July in the Maidenhead office. The next vacancy in Maidenhead will commence in July 2010 whilst the next vacancy in London will commence in September 2010. Applicants should apply by CV and covering letter 12 months before the commencement date they wish to be considered for. Applications to the Maidenhead office should be addressed to Mr Jim Lett whilst applications to the London office should be addressed to Mr Colin Butler.

Here are some comments from previous trainees:

"I first came to Kidd Rapinet on a summer placement where I soon realised that this was a very friendly and warm firm, which was continuously growing in size. I found that the trainees were very positive about their training and the partners were very approachable. So I applied and I'm now in my third seat and I'm very happy with the training, which I am receiving. I feel that the balance of supervised training with the freedom to deal with clients on my own helps me effectively to develop into a very capable solicitor." (Amina Ballam, London Office)

"When I first came here it didn't take me long to realise that this firm is a very friendly place and people, even the partners are (mostly) very easy going, which made me want to come back. Being a qualified German Lawyer I did wonder though whether I would like to go back to being a trainee in order to qualify in England as a Solicitor, as well. However my vague expectations that as a trainee I would be regarded as of no value, not be able to make my own decisions and not be fully respected and appreciated as a lawyer have proven totally wrong in this firm, and I feel that I am being well prepared for the profession." (Jessica Heine, London Office)

"Teamwork is key at KR. The friendly working environment within the firm is conducive to approaching other lawyers and partners to discuss ideas and resolve problems As a trainee, you are expected to be able to contribute enthusiastically and constructively to the firm’s work. From your first morning, you will be given the opportunity to meet clients and attend meetings and be actively involved in every step of the transactions." (Caroline Malone, Maidenhead Office)

"One of the biggest concerns for a new trainee and particularly those who don't want to work for one of the big city firms is quality of life and the possibility of having a life outside the office. At Kidd Rapinet everyone works very hard during the working day but there is no ‘working late for the sake of it’ culture. Obviously there are times when it is necessary but you are made to feel that your extra effort is appreciated. When you do get out of the office you'll find it's a stone's throw from the major stations, parks, shopping areas, theatres, restaurants and bars. Another advantage of working in a firm of this size and mind-set is that you get hands-on experience from day one. Trainees are given as much responsibility and work as they prove themselves capable of handling and this means you learn very quickly." (Ciara McLoughlin, London Office)
