We welcome applications from motivated graduates from all backgrounds and age groups. Enthusiasm, a commercial outlook, good communication skills and adaptability are a must. At DMH Stallard you will be working not only in a specialist practice group, but also involved in cross-disciplinary teams.

DMH Stallard views trainees as an important asset of the firm and we expect them to make a significant contribution. As our trainees have direct access to clients from an early stage it is important that good client care skills are developed, which includes being aware of the client’s business or personal goals.

Training Programme
The programme normally consists of four six-month seats in our Real Estate Asset Management, Personal Injury, Private Client, Planning, Real Estate Dispute Resolution, Technology & Media, Dispute Resolution, Real Estate, Construction, Employment and Corporate Groups.

Funding of LPC
DMH Stallard will directly fund the college the costs of the LPC.  50% of the fees will be as an interest free loan, which will be repaid after qualification over three years.  The remaining 50% of the fees will be paid for by the firm, conditional on the individual remaining at the firm for two years post qualification.

Job Opportunities For Newly Qualified Solicitors
Our policy is to select and develop trainees who will have, at the end of their training contract, the skills and enthusiasm to continue their career with us. Ideal applicants are those with the potential to become effective managers or strong marketeers.

In 2007 all trainees that qualified were offered and accepted newly qualified roles within the firm.

Work Experience
DMH Stallard makes a limited number of one week unpaid work experience placements available for undergraduate and postgraduate students wishing to gain practical experience of working in a law firm. This is aimed at students who have not yet gained a training contract, and wish to gain an insight into life at DMH Stallard.

"During my training contract I was given responsibilities such as going to court, drafting documents and dealing directly with clients and opponent solicitors, which really builds up your confidence and prepares you for being a Solicitor."
