Flex Legal

After three years of growth, Flex Legal’s award-winning Flex Trainee scheme is now launching in the boutique law firm space. 💫 Since partnering with some of the UK’s top in-house legal teams, including The Crown Estate, Tesco, Vodafone and many more, Flex Trainee has seen 60+ talented young individuals from socially mobile backgrounds enter organisations to carry out their Qualifying Work Experience. Taking a Flex Trainee has allowed organisations to demonstrate their ESG commitments, whilst also joining a new network of likeminded partner organisations. Given the scale and resources of boutique firms, the Flex Trainee model is a perfect fit. We employ the trainee and second them into your team, taking away the burden of admin and helping the trainee through their academic and professional journey. Trainees get a life-changing experience; you get a junior resource, the opportunity to develop your own talent, and to build a network with other legal teams (both in-house and boutique) within your trainee’s cohort. Now is an exciting time for Flex Trainee.

And how can you become one through Flex Legal? 💫 Following the success of our groundbreaking Flex Trainee scheme, Flex Co-Sec offers an alternative route for socially mobile Business or Law Graduates on the look-out for a career outside of the law. The specific responsibilities of a Company Secretary can vary dramatically depending on the size of the organisation, but can include: preparing board meetings, nurturing shareholder relations, monitoring relevant legislation and regulations, and supporting the chair with Board efficiency. As a Flex Co-Sec Trainee, you will be placed within a top UK organisation whilst studying to qualify through the Corporate Governance Institute's Qualifying Programme. Still feel a little unsure? Here's five reasons to consider this incredibly rewarding, fulfilling career path: ⚖️ Skillset: If you already have the skills needed to become a lawyer, you are halfway there! 📈 Rising importance: Company Secretary teams are becoming increasingly important with organisations experiencing more and more issues with regulation and compliance, so there really is no better time to pursue this career path. 📚 Commercial awareness: As a Company Secretary, you will gain exposure to the C-suite at a very early stage in your career through board meetings and AGM's. This will help you to develop incredible commercial awareness, and give you an insight into the inner workings of your organisation. 💫 Career progression: If you enjoy corporate law and understanding how organisations run on a day-to-day basis, there really is no better career. And even better - there is no doubt that you will experience faster career progression than you would as a lawyer. 💰 Earning potential: If the first four points haven't persuaded you to the dark side of Company Secretarial work, then this last will.

Since March, Flex legal have been delighted to partner with premier global investment banking firm, Evercore, on our groundbreaking social mobility scheme, Flex Trainee. 💰 Considering Evercore's dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I), we found it especially meaningful that their values align strongly with our goal of offering opportunities to talented individuals who may have had limited access to legal opportunities in the past. Through Flex Trainee, a scheme designed to offer socially mobile individuals the opportunity to break into the legal space, Evercore were delighted to welcome Linda Kasuya, a multilingual LLM graduate with over 9 years' corporate experience, into their legal team.
