Trainee opportunities
WFW deals with training and ongoing development in an individual way. During each seat the firm discusses with trainees plans for the next one to ensure they gain valuable insight from the six-seat programme, including a guaranteed overseas secondment.
Training contracts will be hands-on, with as much experience of clients and challenging, high profile work as possible. Trainees will benefit from plenty of exposure to senior lawyers, many acknowledged leaders in their field.
WFW believes that only total immersion can provide trainees with the experience they require.
Other benefits
These include 25 days holiday, income protection scheme, life assurance, employee assistance scheme, pension scheme, private medical insurance, interest-free season ticket loan, £250 contribution towards a sports club or exercise classes, and a flexible benefits scheme.
