On the traditional track attendees sit in two practice areas, while the Leveraged Finance track spends both weeks in that team. It is open to penultimate-year law undergraduates, all final-year undergraduates, graduates, postgraduates and career changers who hold or are predicted a 2:1 or above. Applications opened on 3 September 2026 and close on 11 December 2026 via AllHires, using Rare's contextual recruitment system. Trainees are paid 70,000 pounds in year one and 75,000 in year two, and the firm funds law school fees plus a 20,000 pound yearly maintenance grant. The pages give no visa or right-to-work statement.
