Hi there,

I have linked the process, from what I have seen from their website below:

“The application process for our trainee scheme is:

  • Application
  • Interview
  • Vacation Scheme
  • Interview (Final Stage)”

I have seen, however, that their deadline was 31st Jan 2025. You could spend sometime compiling your motivation for the firm and learning more about each step of the process, to be well-prepared for the next cycle. I have linked their GR website here- https://www.preston-turnbull.com/careers/trainee-recruitment-2026-intake.

On shipping law, I have fished out this article from the web to help - https://www.law.ac.uk/employability...=While it is a highly,goods and people by sea.

Bets of luck! We’re rooting for you!
