CareersDebenhams Ottaway currently employs over 130 staff across four offices in South Hertfordshire and the City of London. If you are a legal secretary or qualified lawyer and would like us to consider you for a vacancy please email a curriculum vitae and covering letter to Lesley Ramsay ( lr@dolegal.co.uk) or telephone 01727 837161 for an informal discussion about opportunities within the firm. Training Contracts We normally offer up to 5 training contracts each year. Our recruitment commences in October for contracts to commence in September of the following year. Competition is fierce, with normally well over 300 candidates applying for the places. We take applications from students who are undertaking or have undertaken their LPC at any of the Law Schools and initially invite them for interview in London. This is a five-minute interview and the start of a rigorous recruitment process. Short-listed candidates are then judged on a written submission and a final 12 are invited to spend a 'selection day' with us where they take part in interviews, discussion groups and presentations. We are a serious training establishment, accredited by the Solicitors' Regulation Authority. Our training is first class with high levels of supervision and client contact. Our training contracts are operated fully in accordance with the SRA's Training Code. Our rates of pay exceed the minimum guidelines and our aim is to retain the majority of our trainees as solicitors and future partners of the firm. If you wish to apply for a Training Contract with Debenhams Ottaway, you should apply by October of the year before the contract would commence. At the date of commencement of the contract, you must have successfully completed the LPC. You should apply by e-mail, enclosing your cv, to Godfrey Mather, Chief Executive at gbm@dolegal.co.uk
