Trainee Testimonial

I joined Jones Whyte as a Second Year Trainee after making the decision to re-assign my Traineeship from another firm. This was not a decision I took lightly. After careful research into Jones Whyte, I was immediately struck by their flexible and supportive work ethos and valued their dedication to staff wellbeing. I decided to take the leap and began the Second Year of my Traineeship with Jones Whyte in July 2022. I knew that my future was within Private Client, and I joined the specialised Bereavement Team.

From my very first day, I knew I had made the right decision. Everyone was friendly, approachable and welcoming, and very soon I settled into my new position. I was fortunate to work within a friendly and supportive team, who have been invaluable in broadening my legal knowledge and skills.  This role has given me the opportunity to really make a difference by helping families through a difficult time in their lives.

As a multi-functioning Law Firm, Jones Whyte provides Trainee Solicitors with a diverse range of practice areas to gain experience in. The firm also provides excellent training and development opportunities, ensuring that Trainees are well-equipped to succeed in their future careers.

I am proud to be a part of a firm that values its employees and fosters a supportive and collaborative environment. The firm has a clear commitment to employee experience, as evidenced by the results of the firm’s annual survey. Each employee has the opportunity to participate and have their voices heard.  From this survey, the firm received an average of 80% positive responses and has set up improvement programmes for 2023 to address any shortfalls. This is a testament to the firm’s dedication to ensuring that its employees are happy, engaged, and motivated to do their best work.

Jones Whyte also offer a modern office environment, making it a comfortable and productive place to work with the vision to continue to improve on the environment year on year. The location is also excellent, with easy access to public transportation and a range of amenities nearby.

I would highly recommend Jones Whyte to any Trainee Solicitor looking for a challenging, supportive, and rewarding traineeship.  As I approach the end of my Traineeship, I look forward to what the future holds in my position as an NQ Solicitor at Jones Whyte.
