27 March 2012 / By Leanne Meredith

I accepted my training contract offer from Wragge & Co more than two and a half years ago now, and it seemed strange that, on a sunny day at the beginning of March, I was actually going to start work. However, my first day at Wragge & Co was not nearly as daunting as I thought it might have been.

Since receiving my offer I... Read More

Moving seats

Well, I am now almost at the end of my first seat and I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone! I have really enjoyed my first six months at Wragge & Co.

I have attended court hearings on a number of occasions, enabling me to meet with Counsel and see the law in practice.  The excellent thing about Wragge & Co is that trainees are also given the chance to attend client meetings, so you can have that face–to-face...

My first month at Wragge & Co

19 October 2011 / By Laura Orton

It has been my first month here at Wragge & Co as a trainee and I have really enjoyed it.  I have experienced a nice split between getting some great work experience, meeting lots of new people and enjoying the social side of Wragge & Co. In my first week I met my fellow trainees during the induction and got to know my new team. I am currently sitting in the Employment and Pensions teams, so I am lucky to get the experience of two teams in one go. The induction was a very nice welcome... Read More
