Summer programme Cooley’s two-week programmes involve a combination of hands-on work on active matters, shadowing other trainees, dynamic skills sessions, talks, trips and social events. With the goal of involving programme participants in client work to the greatest extent possible, individuals may find themselves attending meetings, taking part in conference calls, going to hearings, assisting on deals, conducting research or participating in project work. Our aim is to plan a programme where you will learn and have the opportunity to demonstrate your potential, while simultaneously gaining as much insight as possible into the firm, our people and the work we do.
‘The vacation scheme was run very well, especially considering the challenges of virtual participation. The planned sessions were engaging, and each built into the next task in a cohesive manner. Particular high- lights included the heads of depart- ment Q&A and the pro bono ses- sions. Fee earners at all levels took a real interest in the scheme, and the work set outside of the planned sessions gave a true insight into trainee life. The magic show social was also lots of fun!’
‘Cooley’s vacation scheme was phe- nomenal! It went beyond what is expected of a normal vacation scheme by including valuable sessions on business development, personal branding, negotiation and advocacy skills. I was impressed to see that Partners are very generous with their time, open about sharing their experi- ences and are genuinely interested to get to know you. Cooley allows you to take on real-life trainee work, but it also goes above and beyond to sup- port you, and there is a real sense of being part of a Cooley family!’ Gloriya Andonova 2021 virtual summer programme attendee (starts training in August 2023)
