Graduate Programme (Mar 2027)

Every year, we welcome a group of graduates across our 5 offices.

Our national programme is designed to ensure you get maximum support and exposure to a wide variety of work.

You will be involved in client work from day one, working together with our solicitors, associates, and partners to achieve the best outcome for our clients.

Not only will we be eager to hear your new ideas, but we'll also look forward to learning about the latest research and technologies you have developed during your time at university.

We put a lot of time and thought into making Duncan Cotterill a great place to work — a place that rewards excellence and, at the same time, recognises and encourages individuality.

Our graduates are encouraged to get involved in firm social events alongside partners and colleagues at all levels.

We recognise a healthy work-life balance as the key to delivering great work and building a strong culture.
