How you can join us at Sidley

We recruit all of our trainees from our vacation schemes, and we advise anyone interested in a training contract to apply for a vacation scheme.

We run a one-week winter vacation scheme and two-week vacation schemes in spring and summer each year.

You will experience the day-to-day life of a lawyer at the firm, including opportunities to undertake real work rather than just observing or shadowing.

Open to:

• Penultimate-year law undergraduates
• Final-year undergraduates
• Graduates

During the Insight Day, you will be given the chance to speak informally to trainees, associates, and partners. Our Graduate Recruitment team will also be available to offer advice on applying for training contracts. We hope the day will give you valuable insight into life at Sidley and help you decide whether this is the firm at which you would like to train.

• First-year law undergraduates
• First and second-year non-law undergraduates

• Have a minimum of three A-levels (at least three A grades)
• Are anticipating at least a 2:1 degree or equivalent (not necessarily in law)
• Are genuinely intrigued by the commercial world
• Can demonstrate a strong ability to analyse and learn
