We recognise the importance of the Bar being a fair and non-discriminatory profession and open to all, regardless of social, economic or educational background or circumstances. Underlying this policy is our intention that every individual should be accorded equal and fair opportunity and respect and be judged on merit and ability alone, free from judgments or treatment based on prejudice or assumptions of collective characteristics. You can view our Equality and Diversity Policy at www.stiveschambers.co.uk. The Bar Standards Board requires that a summary of the Diversity Data submitted by the members of Chambers and staff be published on our website every three years. This data can also be viewed on our website.

Career with a top 10 law firm? We believe in nurturing and growing talented and motivated graduates

We believe it’s your career and so you should choose how it starts. At Freeths we offer three routes to qualification. You can apply directly for a training contract (the direct entry route), or you can join us immediately after you’ve completed your undergraduate degree on our flexible route. The flexible route takes three years to qualify during which time you will gain work experience and complete both your LPC and training contract. Or if you are keen to get work experience before starting you legal career or have perhaps completed your LPC and so are ready to start working full time then you could apply to join our legal assistant foundation programme. On this unique programme you will get grass roots experience of working in a legal environment alongside our talented lawyers. As a legal assistant you will provide admin support to trainees, lawyers and partners which means that you get a true picture of what a career in law could offer you long term. Our Legal Assistant posts are initially for 6 months but many of our legal assistants use the valuable experience gained when they progress onto training contracts with our firm. We also offer sponsorship for the GDL or LPC on the legal assistant programme and flexible route. As a diverse employer, we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and our diversity is viewed as one of the key strengths of our firm. So, if you are an outstanding graduate (either law or non-law) we want to hear from you. Apply online for one of our programmes at www.apply4law.co.uk/freeths or email becky.egan@freeths.co.uk for more information.
