Growing

Young Attorneys

Each year Venns employs a number of law graduates as candidate attorneys, who train under the supervision of our professional staff. During this two-year period, the CAs rotate between different departments in our firm to build a strong foundation for their future careers in law. We believe that a well-rounded and balanced training programme equips our CAs for the challenges ahead.

During their time in each division, each CA has a mentor who will guide them through the work to be done. The emphasis is on practical experience through consultations with clients, attendances at court, the Deeds Office and Master’s office, drafting documents and opinions, and carrying out research.

We also run an in-house lecture programme covering various topics, which aims to keep our CAs up-to-date with new developments in the law.
