Opportunities at Mohun Aldridge Sykes

From time to time we have openings for talented science or engineering graduates who want to train as attorneys in our Leeds office.

Successful applicants will begin solving real client problems from the very start, under the close supervision of qualified attorneys. Trainees will be supported and encouraged on their journey to qualification and beyond. Client-facing skills and a positive attitude to development feature high on our list of requirements.

As the majority of our clients are UK-based, we are able to offer our trainees plenty of client contact and original drafting work from the outset. In addition, we encourage our colleagues to take a full role in the life of the office and to establish professional networks locally and further afield.

In the very early stages, new trainees are expected to spend almost all of their time in the office.  Thereafter, some flexibility can be introduced so that a hybrid working model may be offered, where it is deemed to be appropriate. In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a generous level of annual leave, encouraging a positive work-life balance.
