Trainee Recruitment

Are we right for you?

Gordons is an ambitious UK Top 100 law firm and one of Yorkshire's leading independent firms.  However, as a result of our strong reputation and recognised expertise in both corporate and private client work our client base now extends far beyond the Yorkshire region.

Our lawyers are proactive, hardworking and committed to providing the best service to our clients.  We want all our staff to make a contribution to Gordons’ success and we provide a supportive environment and opportunities for them to do so.

We offer all the benefits of working for a large national firm such as focussed career progression and a wide range of specialisms, alongside the friendly and down to earth ethos of a smaller firm where you get to know everyone.  Being a trainee at Gordons means that from the outset you will be actively involved in working with our clients, standing you in good stead for your future career with the firm. 

"If you are a team player looking for a training contract which will give you legal, business, marketing and IT skills with great opportunities for personal development, then apply." 

James Fawcett, Partner and Head of Corporate
(joined Gordons as a trainee in 1999)
