Our six‑seat training programme gives you broad, high‑quality experience across our legal practices. You'll work on meaningful matters for leading clients, gain insight into our sector‑focused approach and develop strong technical foundations from day one.

You'll be supported by collaborative, approachable people who are invested in your development, in a culture that values quality, ambition andd success.

Application process

Important information

All applications must be made via the Burges Salmon website by clicking the pink 'Apply Now' icon.
Please ensure to submit your application before midnight on 22 June 2026 to be considered.
If you are invited to an Assessment Centre you will need to be available to attend the Bristol office on either 22nd or 23rd July 2026 - candidates select their places on a first come, first serve basis. The assessment centres take place in person at the Bristol office on the above dates only - we are unable to be flexible with this. We recommend that you keep these dates free in the event that you are invited to attend an assessment centre. If you can't attend on these dates, we won't be able to progress your application.

The application

Once you submit your application form, you'll receive an email inviting you to complete two online assessments.
Your application will not be considered until both assessments are completed, so please allow enough time before the deadline.

Stage 1: Emerging Talent Assessment

Online and untimed (approx. 45 minutes).
Simulates realistic workplace scenarios.
Assesses decision-making, behaviours, and preferences.
No legal knowledge required.

Stage 2: Critical Reasoning Assessment

Timed online test (approx. 45 minutes), completed after Stage 1.
Measures critical thinking and evidence-based judgement.
Focuses on evaluating arguments, assumptions, and conclusions.
Based on reasoning ability, not prior knowledge.

If you require any adjustments or have any accessibility requirements to complete these, please get in touch with Jess McGee at [email protected]. or Grace Elliot at [email protected].

What we offer you

You will be earning from day one. Your salary will increase each year as you become more experienced:

Wishing you the best of luck with your application!

Training contract interviews:

Successful applicants after the assessment centres will be invited back for a training contract interview in August 2026 (dates to be confirmed).
If we decide we're right for each other, you'll be offered a training contract based in our Bristol office commencing in September 2028.

Disability Confident Leader

As a Disability Confident Leader, we actively encourage individuals with disabilities, long-term health conditions, or impairments to apply for our roles. We regularly implement adjustments throughout the recruitment process to support all candidates effectively.

We invite you to disclose any disability, long-term health condition, or impairment so that we can provide tailored support during your application. We can make bespoke adjustments to assessments, interviews, and other stages to ensure you have an equal opportunity to excel in our recruitment process.

Applicants with a disability who meet our minimum scoring criteria will be offered a place at one of our assessment centres.

For further discussion on potential adjustments, please contact Grace Elliott at [email protected].

An example of an adjustment we can provide at an assessment centre is additional time to complete the written exercise.

Application eligibility

Please be advised that you are eligible to apply for only one training contract process at a time within a recruitment cycle. For instance, if you apply to our Winter vacation scheme 2025 and your application is unsuccessful, you will not be eligible to apply for our Spring/Summer vacation schemes or the direct training contract 2028.

We recruit two years in advance so you can apply for a training contract from the second (or penultimate if you are studying a four year course) year of a qualifying law degree or the final year of a non-law degree. We also welcome applicants that have graduated or are changing careers.

Get in touch

If you have any questions, please reach out to [email protected]

Deadline to apply: 6pm (BST) 22 June 2026.
