Training Contracts

Bermans is committed to the future of the profession and each year takes on trainee solicitors in both our Liverpool and Manchester offices.

We currently provides routes to qualification via both the LPC and the SQE (QWE).

We always try to retain our trainees following qualification, and several of our partners and solicitors/associates are in fact former trainees.

The application process for our 2027 intake of Trainee Solicitors will open in December 2025.  Further details will follow closer to the time.

Applications are subject to the following eligibility criteria:

• A class 2:1 (or better) undergraduate degree from a reputable university. A degree in Law is preferred, but degrees in other subjects followed by a conversion course may be considered.
• Candidates need to have successfully completed the academic element of their qualification (i.e. LPC or SQE1) prior to commencing their training contract.
