## Description (the employer's text)

Applications are now open for our 2028 Jersey trainee solicitor programme

At Ogier, trainees don't spend two years observing from the sidelines. From an early stage, you'll have opportunities to contribute to real client work, build relationships across teams and develop the confidence and practical skills to grow as a lawyer.

Former trainees can be found at every level of the firm, from newly qualified associates to partners.

### Responsibilities

What you can expect

Our two-year trainee programme is designed to help you build confidence, broaden your experience and develop the skills needed to qualify as a solicitor. You will gain exposure to complex and varied work, learn from experienced colleagues and have the opportunity to build relationships across our international firm.

Support from day one: A dedicated induction programme, regular feedback and support from supervisors, mentors, buddies and fellow trainees will help you settle into legal practice, build lasting professional relationships and continue developing throughout your training contract.

Broad experience and international exposure: You'll rotate through different practice areas, gaining exposure to both contentious and non-contentious work. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to collaborate with colleagues and clients across jurisdictions, and contribute to the complex, cross-border matters that are a key part of our business.

Investment in your development: You'll complete the SQE before starting your training contract, with financial support towards course and examination fees and the flexibility to choose the study provider that suits you. This means that, once you join, you can focus fully on gaining practical experience and developing the wider skills you need as a lawyer. Our support also starts before your first day: we'll introduce you to key people at Ogier and help you get to know other trainees while you study, so you can begin building relationships and feeling connected to the firm early on.

Building skills for long-term success: Alongside your legal training, you'll develop commercial awareness, communication, relationship-building and other professional skills that will support your long-term career development.

### Skills

Who can apply?

We welcome applications from:

- Final-year students, preferably studying law. We also welcome applications from non-law students who are committed to a legal career
- Graduates planning to complete or currently studying for the SQE
- Candidates who have already passed the SQE and are looking to complete their Qualifying Work Experience
Entry requirements

- A minimum 2:1 degree (or predicted 2:1)
- AAB at A-Level (or equivalent)
- If you have already taken the SQE, you must have passed both SQE1 and SQE2
What we're looking for

Standout applications will demonstrate thoughtful reasons for pursuing a career in law, a clear understanding of why they would like to train at Ogier, and evidence of skills such as communication, teamwork, organisation and problem-solving gained through study, work experience or other activities.

Applications close on 31 December 2026
