The programme is a full-time two year fixed term contract and we do not expect Graduate Legal Analysts to study for the Solicitors Qualifying Exams at the same time as working with us. The intention of the programme is to gain valuable on-the-job experience and unparalleled exposure to Wise’s fast-paced Legal team.
All members of the Legal tribe are expected to be in the London office at least 12 days a month (which works out as 3 days a week on average). Please note that during your onboarding period (the first 3 months), you’ll need to work in our London office for 4 days a week.
At the end of the two-year programme, you will have an opportunity to apply for any available permanent role at Wise.
