What do our trainees say about Glanvilles training contracts?
Jessica Pallone - Newly Qualified Solicitor
"The most important thing in a Training Contract is having a consistent opportunity to learn. The supervisors and colleagues at Glanvilles are willing to teach, review and motivate on a regular basis, whilst also allowing us freedom to tackle obstacles ourselves. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Glanvilles so far and look forward to completing my Training Contract with the firm and qualifying into Dispute Resolution and Immigration."
Sophie Montgomery - Newly Qualified Solicitor
"Since starting at Glanvilles I have felt part of the team since day one and have received lots of support and guidance throughout my time here. I was given a large amount of responsibility during my Training Contract and learnt new skills every day to assist me on my journey to qualification. I thoroughly enjoyed working within a variety of seats during my training, before going on to qualify into Residential Property. Each team I worked with were incredibly supportive and I am pleased to have stayed on with Glanvilles as a Newly Qualified Solicitor.”

The training I have received has been excellent and there is a fantastic team culture throughout the offices."
