Summer Vacation Scheme
Get a taste of what it’s like to be a commercial lawyer
If you’ve graduated or you’re in the final or penultimate year of your degree (or second year of a four-year course), our Summer Vacation Scheme is the perfect stepping stone to a Training Contract.
What the scheme involves
Our Summer Vacation Scheme is designed to give you a realistic taste of what it’s like working for a global law firm. We’ll involve you in live work. You’ll attend client meetings and network with fee-earners of all levels – Partners, Associates and Trainee Solicitors. A breakfast with our Management Committee will also give you a better understanding of the Firm’s overall strategy.
Over the course of three weeks, we’ll give you experience in two different seats, with an allocated supervisor and a buddy in each.
Along the way, there’ll be training sessions to help familiarise you with some of our typical transactions, and develop some of the key skills you’ll need as a Trainee Solicitor.
Scheme Duration:
The scheme will start on the 14th June 2027 and takes place over three weeks.
