VdA has created the Trainee Office, a nucleus that will actively accompany the trainee's entire career, through a program focused on the specificities of this professional phase, with the goal of enhancing a differentiating experience that represents an integrated, innovative and specialized response to the trainees' questions.

The Trainee Office is thus dedicated to the coordination, support and guidance of the professional traineeship, with a programme that integrates several components, such as the development of transversal skills - in a practical aspect and taking into account the specificities of the new generations of lawyers - with the aim of training trainees with the essential skills for legal practice and the future of the work, but also in an Individual dimension, taking into account vocations and areas of interest. Initiatives related to Knowledge and Innovation, from a trainee and expertise development perspective, are also relevant aspects of this program.

VdA's role in preparing and training new generations is a mission that has always been assumed by this law firm to be of the utmost importance, and which is based on relevant aspects of its culture and values. The close monitoring of trainees at VdA reflects this vision, an aspect that has contributed over the years to make it a recognized "school".

This pioneering structure represents, therefore, a reinforced bet of VdA in preparing the trainee for the future.
