Reading about us is one way to get a feel for who we are and what we do, but there's nothing quite like spending a week here to help you decide if you want to build a long-term career with us after you graduate.
This year we will be running a one week vacation scheme in December specifically for those in their final year of university or those who have already graduated.
You'll spend your week in a department, being supervised by a qualified solicitor, who'll get you involved in real work. You'll learn about our specialist areas by attending workshops and other sessions. There are also several social events to get to know our partners, associates and current trainees away from the bustle of daily life. You will be interviewed for a Training Contract once the scheme has finished later in December or January. (Please note that in the event of the government reinstate Covid restrictions, we will look to move the scheme to an online platform).
We will be accepting applications for our Winter Vacation Scheme from 1 September 2021 to 13 October 2021 at 12pm. Assessment Centres and Interviews will take place later in October and into November.
Once you have submitted your online application you will receive an invitation from us to complete 3 psychometric assessments. You will be given 7 days to complete the assessments, unfortunately we are unable to provide any extension to this timeline unless there are extenuating circumstances. If you do not complete the tests within the timeframe we will be unable to proceed with your application. Should you require adjustments please don't hesitate to contact us and we will be on hand to assist.
We do not recruit on a rolling basis and will look at all applications as a whole after the deadline.
Overseas candidates - if you are out of the country this academic year please clearly state this in your application, along with dates you will be able to attend an interview in London.
Please note that you cannot apply for a Vacation Scheme and a Training Contract within the same recruitment year e.g., our Direct Training Contract recruitment window opens on 5 January 2022 you should not make an application for a Direct Training Contract in that window if you intend to apply currently for one of our Vacation schemes as we are unable to progress your application.
