SPONSORSHIP AND FUNDING
Skadden maintains an arrangement with BPP Law School for our prospective trainees to study the GDL and the Fast-Track LPC, which means our trainees are assured places, have access to a high standard of teaching and receive the benefit of studying together. During the LPC, our future trainees are invited to a series of workshops geared towards providing an introduction to the firm. The workshops cover areas such as corporate law, the anatomy of deals, our London practice departments and “meet the partners” sessions. We allocate a Skadden “buddy” to all future trainees during the Fast-Track LPC, typically a newly qualified associate who will serve as a point of contact until your qualification as a solicitor. During the GDL and LPC, future trainees also are kept up to date with developments in the London office and invited to all officewide social events.

SEAT STRUCTURE Your training contract is divided into four six-month seats, in which you will gain experience in corporate transactions and litigation/international arbitration. You will have the opportunity to gain exposure to other offices or practice areas in advance of qualifying as a solicitor, including undertaking an international seat in our New York and Hong Kong offices. Client secondments are arranged on a case-by-case basis.
