“Our trainees are vitally important to us because we see them as the future of the firm.  So it was extremely important that we work with a law school that places the same priority on the development of its students.  We are confident that Kaplan Law School will provide our trainees with a rich, dynamic and challenging programme that is uniquely suited to each one.”

Giles Proctor, Head of Kaplan Law School, said:
“Kaplan Law School looks forward to training the lawyers who will make important contributions to Mills & Reeve’s fast growing business.   As one of the largest diversified education companies in the world, we are well positioned to offer an internationally relevant and rigorous programme for Mills & Reeve’s students.”

Mills & Reeve’s trainees will participate in Kaplan Law School’s “Bridge to Practice” Programme which delivers high impact, practical modules that simulate typical scenarios they will encounter at the firm, allowing the trainees to hit the ground running.
