We carefully select our trainee intake from an annual Vacation Scheme which takes place during one working week over summer. The scheme provides our future trainees an opportunity to gain hands on experience at the firm and a good understanding of what life as a Fladgate Trainee will be like.
Over the course of this week you will participate in a number of group and individual activities and assessments, undertake work assignments from current trainees, associates and partners and attend a final stage interview with a partner and a member of HR. We also ensure our students have the opportunity to network with as many Fladgate staff and partners as possible to give a truly rounded view on what the firm has to offer.
Examples of assignments and tasks set during the vacation scheme week:
- Reviewing a confidentiality agreement between a buyer and seller in a corporate transaction.
- Drafting a loan agreement for a Fund
- Drafting a letter to a client regarding a property dispute
- Reviewing particulars of claim in a litigation matter
- Reviewing registrations with Companies House
- Working on a client pitch presentation
- Drafting an internal memo to Partners
It’s not all hard work and assessments though. We make the most of our fantastic location in Covent Garden and arrange numerous social events throughout the week with your fellow vacation-schemers and current trainees and associates. Don’t forget, our vacation scheme is a paid placement of £350 for the week… easily spent with all the amazing shops just a stones throw from the office!
What we are looking for
- Have a commitment to a career in law.
- Have excellent organisation, communication and team work skills.
- Be reliable and dependable with meticulous attention to detail.
- Have the ability to work with technology packages such as Word, Excel and Outlook.
