Norton Rose has offered trainees due to join the firm in 2009 and 2010 up to £10,000 to defer the start dates of their training contracts.
The London firm, which has roughly 55 trainees due to join across its September 2009 and January 2010 intakes, has contacted all of the future trainees asking for volunteers willing to push back their start date.
Those who accept will be offered up to £10,000 if they come up with something “meaningful and constructive” with their time off, while those wishing to start on the agreed date will be able to do so.
Norton Rose said that it has given trainees options to develop their skills during the year off by offering opportunities for pro bono work, internships with clients, completing a masters degree and placements within international offices.
The Norton Rose Group is a leading international law firm. It offers business law services from 20 offices across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. With around 1000 lawyers, its practice specializes in five key areas: corporate finance, financial institutions, energy and infrastructure, transport and technology.
