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 taking part in project work. Our aim is to plan a programme from which you will learn and have the oppor- tunity to demonstrate your potential, while simultaneously gaining as much insight as possible into the firm, our people and the work we do.

“Cooley’s summer programme gets the balance just right. You come away having gained more than just an insight into the firm. The busi- ness development, negotiation and advocacy sessions leave you with valuable skills beyond that of a normal vacation scheme. The scheme’s focus remains, importantly, on ‘real life’ tasks. You are actively encouraged to pursue areas of law in which you are interested or less familiar. It is not all work. There is ample opportunity to socialise too.”
“The Cooley summer programme was action-packed from beginning to end – I almost forgot I was work- ing from home! Each day brought a new set of engaging workshops, assignments and opportunities to get involved in real work. We were encouraged to be curious and explore areas of interest within the firm, including pro bono projects. I was especially struck by how friendly and open everyone was – always willing to take time out to connect with me.” Olivia Anderson 2020 Virtual Summer Programme – starts training in August 2022
