Once you are in the department, the support doesn't stop; you have a weekly supervisor meeting, which is there for you to lead on work and ask questions you want guidance on. You also have a Buddy in the department to help you too. We deliver on progression We are so proud of the progression at Express Solicitors, we wanted to share the success by numbers: 100% of our Trainee Solicitors came from our Graduate Scheme.
