Mourant is looking for aspiring lawyers to join a paid training programme in Guernsey.

The programme is a mix of “hands-on” experience, rotating between practice groups, alongside studying for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) – ultimately qualifying as a Solicitor of England and Wales.

The two-year, fixed-term programme starts in September 2027 and will be based in the professional services firm’s offices.

The firm is encouraging applications from graduates from a wide range of academic backgrounds – and a law degree is not required.

With offices around the world, Mourant provides the opportunity for its trainees to develop their careers in an international law firm and experience “high quality work, and dedicated mentorship in a supportive and inclusive environment”.

Trainees will receive a “competitive reward package”, which covers Cours and exam fees as well as paid time off to study.

Once qualified as a Solicitor, trainees will then be able to apply for a permanent position at Morant at an Associate level.

Guernsey Partner, Helen Wyatt, said: “Our SQE Trainee Programme offers a supportive and accessible route into the legal profession.

“At Mourant, we are committed to creating a barrier-free recruitment process and offer flexible working opportunities, helping to ensure that talented individuals from all backgrounds can thrive and succeed.”

The firm also offers a similar Trainee Solicitor Programme in Jersey.

Applications for the Mourant Guernsey SQE Trainee Programme close on 27 November through the Mourant website.
