Vacation Scheme

Vacation Scheme candidate

We run three schemes and have 10 candidates on each scheme - Spring and two summers
Each scheme is a two week paid work experience.

Our vacation scheme offers a comprehensive insight into life at Farrer & Co, combining hands-on experience with structured learning and networking opportunities.

Who can apply?

We welcome applications from:

• University students in their penultimate or final year of study.
  Graduates from any academic discipline.

Our minimum academic requirements are AAB at A Level (or equivalent) and a 2:1 degree, or a predicted 2:1 for those still studying. However, we are open to considering mitigating circumstances for candidates whose academics fall below this.

The scheme

We’ve designed a hybrid programme, which allows the opportunity to spend time in the office and to work remotely.

Each scheme includes:

Time in our legal teams: you will work closely with a supervising lawyer, gaining practical experience and insight into our work.

Lunchtime seminars: learn from our experts across a variety of topics.

Group case study: collaborate with fellow participants to tackle a real-world legal challenge.

Social events: build connections with our people and get a feel for our firm’s culture.
