Vacation scheme
If you're keen to embark on a career in law, a vacation scheme with us could be the perfect steppingstone. Our schemes will give you a real insight into our firm, the opportunity to learn about how the law is applied in our core industry sectors and we'll always aim to enable you to be placed in the department of your choice.
That's not all…
The vacation scheme is your opportunity to get to know us, and our opportunity to get to know you. Towards the end of the scheme, you will have a training contract interview. We'll use this, together with feedback from your supervisor and team, to decide whether to offer you a training contract.
What to expect
- Be immersed in our firm and the work we do from day one
- Experience real work by observing cases, drafting responses, providing advice and preparing research
- Get involved in significant deals, meetings and negotiations
- See how our lawyers provide a complete legal service to clients in our core practice areas
- Attend court hearings, arbitrations and mediations to see the different types of litigation available first-hand
- Attend seminars, networking events and social events with colleagues and clients
