Kaplan Recruitment Partners
Jeremy Farr, Recruitment Partner, Ince & Co, said: “At Ince & Co we are highly selective in our recruitment process and treat each of our trainees as potential future partners.
“It is important that our recruits receive high quality training before joining the firm, as this can have a strong impact on their capability and confidence. We believe that Kaplan’s reputation for academic rigour and excellent instruction, as well as its approach to pastoral care, will provide our London-based trainees with a good foundation for the further training they receive once they join us full-time.”
Giles Proctor, Head of Kaplan Law School, said: “The fact that 70% of Ince & Co’s partners trained with the firm is strong evidence of Ince & Co’s commitment to investing in helping their lawyers reach their full potential — we are delighted to have the opportunity to contribute towards this goal. Ince & Co’s global reach and culture are also an excellent fit with our parent company — leading global education company Kaplan.”
Kaplan Law School teaches Nottingham Law School’s market leading LPC and has the top quality rating for its LPC from the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Ince & Co 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.
