    At Kirkland & Ellis we combine the benefits of a small trainee intake with the excitement of being part of a global firm, employing over 3,000 lawyers in 19 offices around the world.

    Talent, drive and enthusiasm. That's what makes a Kirkland & Ellis lawyer.

    If you are in your penultimate year of your law degree or final year of your non-law degree, or beyond, you may apply for the following:

    Vacation Schemes

    Before joining our firm as a trainee solicitor, you can get to know us on one of our Vacation Schemes. They're designed to give you valuable hands-on experience across a range of practice areas, as well as crucial insights into how our London office operates. We recruit the majority of our trainee solicitors through the vacation scheme route and we welcome your application for this opportunity.

    Our spring vacation scheme will take place in April 2023 and our summer vacation scheme will take place in June 2023.

    Training Contracts

    Three of our main practice areas are corporate, debt finance and investment funds so it is likely you will spend a seat in each of these. Your other seat(s) will be allocated from one of our other complementary practice areas.
