Our Vacation Placements are the perfect introduction to a Pinsent Masons Training Contract. We develop the placement programme to give you an enjoyable experience which authentically reflects the life of a Trainee Solicitor. Working alongside colleagues on real client projects, you’ll enjoy structured work-based learning, skills training and presentations.
About the role
We carefully and thoughtfully plan our vacation placement programme to offer a combination of a day-one induction, skills and information workshops together with networking opportunities and social events.
When you join us, you’ll be assigned to one of our practice groups and be paired up with a solicitor and a trainee. Their job is to guide, support and encourage you throughout the course of your placement. Throughout the programme, you can look forward to:
- tasks which will help you to develop your existing knowledge and skills, as well as picking up some new ones
- access to client work whilst being supervised and supported
- getting involved in a range of additional activities
- working with, and learning from, solicitors who are leaders in their respective fields
- a non-hierarchical structure with the emphasis on approachability and a collegiate working culture
We hope your Vacation Placement experience will fuel your interest in joining the firm as a Trainee Solicitor. If you gain a placement, it’s because we already see you as a potential Trainee. You’ll have undertaken some assessments in the process of applying for the placement. To be considered for a Training Contract we ask you to take one or two final assessments. We’ll also get feedback from your practice group and, if you meet our core capabilities and perform well throughout both the assessments and the placement, we’ll offer you a Training Contract.
