About the Role
The Legal Technology Graduate Scheme is an accelerated 21-month programme designed to provide a broad and varied foundation in legal technology.

During the programme, you'll gain hands-on experience across both our central Technology Products team and our embedded Practice Group Legal Technology teams, developing a unique blend of technical, commercial and legal technology expertise.
Months 1-9: Technology Products Team
You'll develop a strong understanding of the firm's legal technology estate, product delivery approaches and innovation strategy. You'll combine structured learning with real project work, helping to shape, deliver and improve technology products used across the business.
Months 10-21: Practice Group Legal Technology Teams
You'll apply that knowledge within our legal practice groups, working alongside lawyers and clients to improve legal processes, deploy technology solutions and support digital transformation across a range of practice areas.
