Olswang has been confirmed as one of the firms which will provide the private practice element of the three BBC training contracts set to begin in September this year.

Applications for the three training positions will open this March, with only those who will have completed their Legal Practice Course by the start date being eligible.

The training contract will comprise four seats, three of which will be in different areas of the BBC, as well as a final seat in private practice at a firm on the BBC's legal panel. The final list of firms providing these seats alongside Olswang is yet to be confirmed.
