We will be running a summer vacation scheme in July 2024.
Ten students will spend up to two weeks working on a variety of projects and workshops with partners and associates throughout the office.
You will have the opportunity to do tasks for partners and associates across our practice groups.
You will also gain first-hand insights from our senior leaders about the culture of the firm, including presentations on the Pro Bono and DE&I work we do. There will also be training in presentation skills and the chance to use them by completing a firm-wide presentation with other vacation scheme students at the end of the scheme.
We recommend you apply for the vacation scheme as a way for us to get to know you, as well as a way for you to see if you like us as a firm. The direct Training contract application route is also available as we recognize not everyone will be able to do a two-week scheme due to work/ other commitments.
