Our two-week schemes are designed to give you an idea of what it will be like to be a trainee solicitor at Dechert. Each week you will sit in a different practice group and you are given real work to do by our lawyers. Exactly what you will do will depend on which practice group you sit in but it will include research, drafting and attending meetings. You will also attend training sessions on a range of topics, such as legal writing and negotiation.
Before you start the scheme, we will ask for your practice area preferences and then try to place you in those groups. You will be allocated a supervisor (an associate or partner) and a trainee buddy, and will receive work from people at all levels from across the group.
We offer places on both schemes to penultimate year law undergraduates, all final year undergraduates (both law and non-law), all graduates, post-graduates and career changers. You should have achieved, or be on track expect to achieve, at least a 2:1 degree (or equivalent) and have a minimum of AAB at A-Level.
