Get a taste of what it’s like to be a commercial lawyer! If you've graduated or you're in the final or penultimate year of your degree (or second year of a four-year course), our Summer Vacation Scheme is the perfect stepping stone to a Training Contract.
What the Scheme involves
Our Summer Vacation Scheme is designed to give you a realistic taste of what it’s like working for a global law firm. We’ll involve you in live work. You’ll attend client meetings and network with fee-earners of all levels – Partners, Associates and Trainee Solicitors. A lunch with our Management Committee will also give you a better understanding of the Firm’s overall strategy.
Over the course of three weeks, we’ll give you experience in two different seats, with an allocated supervisor and a buddy in each. Since pro bono work is such an important aspect of what we do, you’ll also get to undertake a pro bono project.
Along the way, there’ll be training sessions to help familiarise you with some of our typical transactions, and develop some of the key skills you’ll need as a Trainee Solicitor. You’ll also take part in a client pitch exercise, which is a great opportunity to work closely with other people on the Vacation Scheme.
Scheme takes place at the Baker McKenzie offices in London and there are 15 places available. The scheme will start on the 20th June 2022 and takes place over three weeks, until the 8th July 2022.
Eligibility Requirements
- You should have, or be on track for, a 2:1 or above. We use a contextualised recruitment system, which enables us to consider those with real potential who fall slightly short of our criteria
