Are you a penultimate or final-year undergraduate, graduate or postgraduate interested in a career in commercial law? Our Vacation Schemes will offer you a taste of life in commercial law at a global firm. They will put you in the best possible position to secure a Training Contract here. We'll also pay you £520 per week while you're with us.
During your two-week Vacation Schemes, you'll be involved in real deals, sit with a Principal, work hard and enjoy an active social life. You'll also attend professional development sessions which offer a broader understanding of our global business strategy and practice areas and help you to develop essential skills like negotiation and pitching. More informally, you'll have the ear of experienced lawyers. A Trainee ‘buddy’ in each department is on hand to integrate you into the team, as well as a Principal, who is an Associate or Managing Associate. This reflects the support you can look forward to if you join us as a Trainee. You'll also get to know us, and other Vacation Scheme students, through our social events (often a highlight!).
During the Vacation Scheme, we’ll automatically offer you a final interview for our Training Contract with a Partner and Managing Associate. The selection process for our Schemes is tough, because they are there to help prepare you, and we want you to be successful in your Training Contract application.
The scheme will take place during the following times:
Spring: 5 - 16 April
Summer Scheme 2: 5 July – 16 July
Please note that the final interviews will take place the week after the scheme has finished.
