Trainee Solicitor Surgery has been helping candidates secure training contracts & vacation schemes for over a decade.
Our Aims
Our primary aim is to provide real-world careers advice from experts in the recruitment of trainee solicitors.

Our History
TSS was started in 2009 by former Sky TV lawyer, Matt Oliver, to share the advice he had given to the students and graduates he mentored and coached over the years.
After a career change, Matt has become one of the UK's leading legal career coaches. He runs the Legal Careers Group and coaches lawyers (at all levels of experience) on their career development.
