Training contract celebrations take over social media

There are lots of photos of cocktails

It’s smiles all round this summer, as aspiring lawyers celebrate their training contract offers the only way they know how — by sharing the good news on Instagram.

After all, what’s a training contract offer without a humble social media brag?

Take a look at some of the best here.

1. “Where necessary, you may be required to work outside those hours”

SO SPEECHLESS RIGHT NOW ? 8 years of hard work has finally paid off. Hours and hours of applications, interviews, assessment days, rejections, tears and tantrums and I finally, finally did it. I will actually, FINALLY achieve my dream and qualify as a solicitor!
