Trainee Solicitor-Training Contract- LPC/SQE Qualified Work Experience

At Poole Alcock, we are looking for individuals with a law degree (or equivalent) who are either planning to undertake the LPC or SQE, have already completed it, or have finished their SQE and are now looking to gain their qualifying work experience.

This isn’t about ticking boxes or sitting on the sidelines. You will be joining a busy, well-established team where you will be trusted, supported, and given real exposure from the outset.

From day one, you will gain hands-on experience, work closely with experienced lawyers, and build confidence in dealing with clients and progressing matters — all within a firm that genuinely values doing things properly, with the client’s best interests at the heart of what we do.

**Please note this is an office-based position, with your place of work being either based out of our Head Office in Northwich or our Sandbach office, both situated in Cheshire, North West England.**

Your main responsibilities will be:-

Assisting solicitors with private family law matters, including divorce, separation, children matters, and financial remedy cases
Drafting correspondence, court forms, applications, statements, and other legal documents under supervision
Attending client meetings, taking notes, and dealing with routine follow-up correspondence
Liaising with clients, counsel, courts, experts, and third parties in a professional and empathetic manner
Preparing court bundles, hearing documents, chronologies, and briefing notes
Supporting fee earners with case progression and file management to ensure matters move forward efficiently
Managing diaries, appointments, limitation dates, and court deadlines accurately
Updating case management systems and ensuring electronic and paper files are maintained correctly
Carrying out legal research on family law procedures, case law, and legislation
Assisting with the preparation of financial disclosure documentation and supporting papers in matrimonial finance matters
Supporting urgent applications where required, such as injunction-related family work
Maintaining confidentiality and handling sensitive personal information with discretion
Developing an understanding of client care in sensitive and emotionally complex matters

What we are looking for:-

Genuinely passionate about building a career in Family Law, with a real appreciation for the impact this work has on people’s lives
Motivated and ambitious, with the drive and attention to detail to develop into a confident and capable lawyer
Eager to learn and grow, taking opportunities to build knowledge, skills, and experience at every stage
Highly organised and detail-focused, able to manage responsibilities effectively in a fast-paced environment
A strong communicator, who can build trust with clients and support them with empathy and professionalism
Committed to delivering exceptional client care, always putting clients at the heart of everything they do

As part of your application, please include a covering letter explaining your passion to pursue a career in family law. Unfortunately, we are unable to progress applications that do not include a covering letter.

The deadline for applications is Friday 5th June 2026 at 5pm.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and early applications are encouraged due to anticipated interest.

We look forward to hearing from you. Should you have any questions, please email [email protected] for the attention of Marsha Pearson.

Application question(s):

Do you hold a law degree (or equivalent)?
What grade did you achieve in your law degree (or equivalent)?
When are you available to start?
Are you currently undertaking, planning to undertake, or have you completed the LPC or SQE?
