Vacation Scheme 2026

Vacation Scheme 2026

Our 2026 vacation scheme will take place from 13-24 April inclusive, in-person at our London offices.

Please make your vacation scheme application between 1 October 2025 – 3 December 2025. We review applications on a rolling basis, so please apply at your earliest convenience. We will not accept any applications after the deadline has passed, and technical issues will not be accepted as mitigating circumstances for missing the deadline.

Please note that we are able to detect where ChatGPT and similar software have been used to support the writing of application forms.

How you will be assessed

If you have applied for a place on our vacation scheme, you will be invited to an assessment centre, which will include an interview with a panel of two, a written assessment and a presentation. These days are designed to ensure that all candidates have an equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the firm, skills and experiences.

What you can expect from the vacation scheme

You’ll sit in two different departments during your fortnight with us. But from day one, you’ll feel part of something bigger. You’ll have the chance to explore the firm and the values that drive us, and we’ll always support you to be yourself.

You’ll meet a wide range of our people, and you’ll get to know our shared sense of purpose and values. We encourage you to get involved with the whole department and any events happening during your time with us.

How the vacation scheme fits into the training contract application process

If you are successfully invited to, and attend our vacation scheme, you will automatically be invited to attend a final stage interview with our Managing Partner and another Partner. Following this, we will offer successful candidates a training contract. When applying for the Vacation Scheme, please ensure that you are ready to start a training contract with us in September 2028.

We want you to feel as prepared as possible for your Vacation Scheme with us, so that you can really enjoy your experience. Before joining the vacation scheme you will receive an overview agenda of the scheme, what has been planned for you, including the different events happening during your time with us. You will have contact with the Emerging Talent Manager, so can reach out with any questions about the scheme.
