This is a great question, though it’s challenging to answer with precision. One reason for this is the lack of reliable data on training contract statistics for the regional offices of large firms. Most available insights that I've seen tend to focus on London.From my experience mentoring applicants who’ve applied to both regional and London offices, my impression is that regional offices are sometimes less competitive in a very specific sense - largely because they tend to receive fewer applications. London, as an international legal hub, attracts a high volume of candidates due to its global reputation and the broad scope of work offered. Regional offices, on the other hand, often appeal more to candidates with ties to the local area or a particular interest in specific practice areas such as agriculture, healthcare, or manufacturing.That said, regional offices are by no means “easy” to get into. I’ve met highly capable candidates who have faced challenges securing training contracts at firms with offices in cities like Birmingham or Manchester. The standards remain high, as these offices still handle complex and high-quality work, often have leaner teams, few training contract spots, and maintain rigorous selection processes.Hope that helps!</blockquote>
