Description
BBC is looking for four LPC graduates who can start work
with us in September 2019.
Successful candidates for the BBC Legal Trainee Scheme
2019 will have the opportunity to work as part of the BBC’s extended legal
team for two years of excellent training and unique work experience. It is an
opportunity to be part of the team that provides the essential
professional legal services which enable the BBC to enrich people’s lives with
programs and services that inform, educates and entertains.
Eligibility
Applicants must normally have:
A 2:1 degree, but BBC will consider any extenuating
circumstances;
If you are not taking a law degree, you must have or intend
to have passed the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) prior to starting the
contract;
All applicants will need to have passed the Legal
Practice Course (LPC) before they start work with us as trainee solicitors
in September 2019;
BBC regret that BBC is unable to fund either the GDL or
the LPC.
The BBC is committed to becoming a culturally diverse
workforce and to recruiting candidates from backgrounds which are
currently under-represented in the legal profession.
If you have a disability the BBC Access Unit will help
you with any adjustments necessary for your assessment and for when you start
on the scheme.
Benefits
The benefits from the program include:
A 24 month fixed-term contract paying circa EUR
32000 in the first year and rising to approximately EUR 36.000 in the
second year (including London weighting) and leading to qualification with the
SRA as a solicitor;
There will be three six-month rotations in Intellectual
Property, BBC Worldwide, Rights and Business Affairs plus one seat in private
practice, all based in London;
Professional Skills Course provided externally but sponsored
by the BBC.
This competitive scheme attracts bright,
commercially-aware, aspiring lawyers from all backgrounds who want to work
in what we think is the world’s most exciting in-house environment. You
will be involved in a wide range of quality legal work from day one. You
will be closely supervised by lawyers who are experts in their individual
fields, but you will also get a chance to work with business colleagues across
the BBC, in different teams, and build your legal career as part of a large and
supportive in-house team which makes business-critical contributions to the
success of the BBC.
