Law Training Contract Tracker

Most open in September and October. The first law training contract we tracked this cycle opened on 1 Sept 2026 (Orrick), and the most recent on 19 Oct 2026 (Mayer Brown). Many review applications as they arrive, so the strongest position is to apply in the first weeks a role is open.

32 are open now, from 17 employers. The count updates as roles open and close.

Deadlines for the roles open now run from 31 Oct 2026 to 28 Jun 2027, with half closing by 4 Dec 2026. 3 have a rolling deadline, which means applications are reviewed as they arrive and the role can close before its stated date.

None of the 32 open roles currently state that they offer visa sponsorship. Many don't mention it either way, so check the employer's page before you apply.

Usually no. Once a deadline passes, the employer's application form closes. Roles with rolling deadlines can also close before their stated date, so the safest plan is to apply in the first few weeks a role is open. Each closed role keeps its page here with the date it opened, so you can plan for the next round.
