Professional Development Programme
Harneys is pleased to invite qualified candidates eligible for admission as BVI lawyers to apply for the 2012 intake into its Professional Development Programme, which is scheduled to begin in September. Candidates will normally be expected to complete their vocational training prior to the commencement of the programme.

The programme is designed to achieve the twin aims of enabling successful applicants to become commercial lawyers of the highest calibre and enabling applicants to experience a variety of different practice areas and thereby make choices as to specialisation from a position of practical experience. Interested candidates should submit a full résumé with a covering letter no later than 30 March 2012.
