It takes a degree, the LPC and a 2 year training contract before a solicitor can practice.
It also costs around 125% of their salary to replace them.
Our THRIVE mentoring programmes give young lawyers the key professionals skills to add to their law knowledge and improves retention.
What we know
Junior lawyers tell us that the gap between the LPC and becoming a solicitor is bigger than just the practical knowledge of the law.
The skills needed to fully engage in their training contract and progress as a junior lawyer include personal effectiveness skills, practical knowledge of working in a professional environment and confidence.
Without these, the stress levels rise and burn-out or walking out are both very real options.
Improve your Retention
Mentoring is proven to help with retention. Our individual support & feedback maximises the chances of trainees becoming your future leaders.
Maximise the Appeal of Training Contracts
By offering personal and professional development through mentoring in addition to law training, you can set your firm apart, attracting the best candidates.
Content Lawyer-Approved
Junior lawyers tell us what they need and where they struggle. We combine this knowledge with a firm’s plans and priorities to make our content highly relevant and practical from Day 1.
