Candidate Attorney (Labour Law)

A small general practice law firm in Kempton Park has space for a law graduate ready to start practical vocational training. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Kempton Park; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
