Recruitment
Gates and Partners is a stimulating and rewarding firm in which to work. We take pride in working together as a team. The atmosphere is lively, friendly and industrious.
We take our recruitment seriously and are committed to encouraging diversity amongst our workforce. Our aim is that our employees will be truly representative of all sections of society and each employee feels respected and able to give their best.
Qualified Solicitors/Legal Executives/Paralegals
We are always keen to meet experienced aviation, liability, commercial and regulatory lawyers and are happy to receive speculative enquiries.
Trainee Solicitors
The firm views the recruitment of trainee solicitors as a long-term investment and thus aims to have all successful candidates progress to qualification and continued employment with the firm. However, an offer post qualification is not assured.
Where possible, prospective candidates are encouraged to undertake a work placement either through an internship; vacation placement or through a fixed term paralegal contract as a precursor to the application for a Training Contract.
Initial applications should be sent to the Practice Manager between 1st August through to 30th September. A shortlist will be drawn up for interviews to be conducted between October through to December. A decision on either a work placement and/or training contract will be made in January of each year.
