Some of our current trainees
If you think it’s a glamorous job, think again. We roll up our sleeves and get stuck in.
This is because being a lawyer at Gosschalks means thinking like an entrepreneur. It means having solid business sense, a sound understanding of our client's needs, sector specialist knowledge, a knack for spotting opportunities others can’t and having the courage to go after them.
The difference with us is we don’t just say it, we practice it.

Emma Orriss - Partner - Company Department (Former Trainee)
What do some of our former trainees, now successful lawyers, say about their time as Trainees at Gosschalks?
“I wanted to work in a busy and challenging environment to help progress my career and I certainly found that at Gosschalks. From day one I was involved with real clients on real cases and was made to feel like an important part of the team from the off. I feel like I have gained so much experience in such a short space of time.”
Emma Orriss - Partner, Company Department
I started life out at Gosschalks as a Trainee.
I chose Gosschalks because I wanted to
become an integral part of a successful firm
rather than just a number.
Matthew Fletcher – Head of Litigation
At the time of writing, I am now in
the 3rd seat of my training contract at
Gosschalks and cannot emphasise
enough what a fantastic firm Gosschalks is
to train at. My experience to date has been
varied, challenging and exciting all at the
same time.
