Our summer vacation scheme is a great way for students to really learn about the firm, its people and decide if a career at Covington is for them.
Over the two weeks scheme, students have the opportunity to become integrated into the London office and gain an insight into the work of a Covington lawyer.
Students have the opportunity to participate in
- a series of interactive presentations from practice groups and international offices;
- a group activity;
- networking sessions with trainees, associates, and partners;
- an independent research project focusing on a practice area of interest; and
- social events to help you get to know the firm.
Eligible applicants will be in their final year of a non-law degree or penultimate or final year of a law degree. We also welcome applications from graduates and career changers.
Key dates
- Summer Scheme applications open from: 7 September 2023 - 12 January 2024. The Summer Scheme will take place from June 2024.
Successful applicants will be invited to an assessment day, involving an interview with two senior lawyers and a group activity.
We recruit trainees exclusively through our vacation schemes. All vacation scheme attendees will be interviewed and assessed for a Training Contract/QWE.
