    Summer Vacation Scheme

    Summer Vacation Scheme Dates: 24th June – 13 July 2024

    In 2024, Gibson Dunn will host one three-week summer vacation scheme for students interested in pursuing a career with the firm. The scheme is intended for law students in their penultimate or final year of study, students of other disciplines in their final year, recent graduates (in any discipline), and those already taking a GDL, LPC and SQE course. Scheme participants have the opportunity to take part in seminars and workshops, as well as perform meaningful work on the firm’s high-profile matters. Vacation scheme students will be paid a competitive rate of £750 per week to cover expenses during the programme. Additional support towards travel and accommodation costs will be reviewed on a case by case basis and to be discussed with the Graduate Recruitment team.

    The summer vacation scheme is designed for students who wish to apply for a training contract with the firm.

    Applications for the 2024 summer vacation placement will be accepted from 1 September 2023, with a deadline of 16 January 2024. Please be advised that places on our summer vacation scheme will be allocated on a rolling basis and so early application is advised.
