Hello, tomjones-ga!
The companies listed below all include Information Technology among
their specialities. However, their contracts may require you to work
in other departments during training. I did not find a single company
listing "Computers" as a specialisation.
The individual websites and the "Prospects" URL below each listing
will provide more in-depth information, including a full description
of the law firm specialties and registration and application
procedures.

"The Clifford Chance Training Contract has been devised to provide you
with the technical skills and experience you need to contribute to our
success on a day-to-day basis, to achieve your professional
qualification and to progress to a rewarding career. Our programme
offers a good balance of formal and practical on-the-job training to
build on the knowledge you have acquired on your Common Professional
Examinations (CPE) if applicable, and the Legal Practice Course (LPC).
To achieve consistent training we support study through the City LPC,
which is available at BPP Law School, Nottingham Law School and the
Oxford Institute of Legal Practice. Your two-year training contract
consists of four six-month seats, one of which could be in an
international office. Each six months will bring you into contact with
new clients and colleagues, and you can expect to work on a variety of
deals and projects, both large and small, as you build up your
portfolio of skills. In each seat you will be working alongside senior
lawyers. They are responsible for providing the range of experience
you need to progress, but it will be up to you to make the most of
it."

"Clyde & Co recruits only 20 trainee solicitors each year, most of
whom are based in London and the rest in our Guildford office. As one
of this relatively small intake, you will receive a high degree of
individual attention, a wide range of challenging work and choice as
to the departments in which you spend your training. Like all other
Clyde & Co fee-earners, as a trainee you will be known as a
casehandler from your very first day at the firm and will usually
have your own office. Whilst of course you will receive close
supervision during your training contract, you will be encouraged to
take on as much responsibility and client contact as you are able to
manage in order to prepare you effectively for life
post-qualification. We recruit to retain, and therefore invest a great
deal in the training of our solicitors.'

programme, with seminars each week, to support the thorough practical
training and regular feedback that you will receive from the senior
lawyers who you will work with. We keep an open mind on what we look
for in our lawyers, with an underpin of a strong academic record. You

"Wragge & Co places considerable emphasis on transforming trainees
into high quality, commercially-minded lawyers. You will spend six
months in four different practice areas which usually are property,
corporate and litigation, with a chance to specialise in a final seat
of your choice. From day one, you will work on live files with direct
contact with clients, other solicitors and also be responsible for the
management of the transaction and its ultimate billing. The more
aptitude you show, the greater the responsibility you will be given.
You will be supported by the Graduate Recruitment Team, a Partner who
acts as a mentor to you throughout your training contract and a
Supervisor who will co-ordinate your work and give you weekly
feedback. Introductory courses are provided at the start of each seat
in addition to the Professional Skills Course training requirements.
This formal training complements on the job learning and it is more
than likely our commitment to your development will extend well past
the number of days recommended by the Law Society. Some of the courses
will be residential, allowing you to reflect on your work practices
away from the office environment and forge relationships and compare
notes with your colleagues without the disturbances of your daily
work."
