Catering and print room.

To be honest I don’t think a legal career suits you.

Okay. Elaborate. Pretty sure there’s long hours in transactional or non-transactional seats..

In reply to Question incoming Ashurst trainee.

Probably not the best mindset to be joining with the intention to avoid anything that’s relatively challenging to understand or anything with any stress.

Departments are typically either academically challenging (complex legislation, research heavy), or physically challenging (demand long hours, endurance). There’s no free lunch department offering neither.

What’s the best practice areas to go into and which are the easiest to pick up (least stressful) practice areas to pick up?

US firms get a lot of stick for focusing on transactional teams. Often said that a major downside to training US is that you’ll struggle to qualify into a disputes or advisory practice. Honestly these qualifying statistics/proportions are pretty comparable to my US firm. In fact, ours might’ve had a higher proportion in advisory/litigation last qualification round from what I remember.

Really decent firm. Decent whack for the quality of work + doable hours and collaborative culture. Although I expect rates to be nearer 120k base by the end of the year, which would then be a truly fantastic offering

If I’m not mistaken, believe all three leavers weren’t offered the seats they wanted, and went to other firms as a result.

Trainees here seem relatively happy to qualify here and enjoy it for a couple years. It’s at 1-2PQE that the attrition seems to begin and some go to US firms and others head off to more quiet pastures.
