Before you apply for a Vacation Scheme, come and meet the firm at one of our Open Days!
This open day is run in collaboration with our Pride Committee and is a unique opportunity to learn about our EDI commitments, as well as how to prepare for our application process.
The Pride Committee is focused on initiatives that drive the work of this strand to provide opportunities for LGBTQIA+ staff and allies to network, cross-refer and provide mutual support. Designed to give visibility and support to the LGBTQIA+ community, both inside and outside of the Firm.
Our Pride Open Day takes place on Friday 16th October 2026 for candidates in the penultimate year of their undergraduate degree and onwards. If you are a first-year undergraduate student, please be advised you are not eligible for this event. We will be holding an Open Day in Spring 2026 which is open to first year students. This is an in-person event that will take place in our London office.
This event is open to anyone who identifies as LGBTQIA+ or is an ally interested in actively supporting and promoting LGBTQIA+ initiatives.
Our Open Days are a chance to get a real insight into the type of work we do, the clients we engage with and life as a lawyer at Mishcon de Reya. It's your chance to get to know us better and understand what makes us tick but we also want to leave you with an increased level of commercial awareness about how a law firm operates, the current legal landscape and the future of the legal market.
We typically look for an expected 2:1 degree and ABB at A-level but we are ultimately looking for the best candidates. Please don't be deterred if your grades are lower than this, we are looking for people who have a strong application form across the board. Please enter your GCSE, A-level (or equivalent) and a full breakdown of your degree grades on the application form.
Applications close on Friday 25 th September 2026. Please click on the apply link below to review and complete an application form.
