VACATION SCHEMES 11
Explore the future you’ve always wanted.
We often hear that students find it difficult to differentiate firms. For this reason, we recommend a vacation scheme as a great way to experience first-hand our culture and the work we do. We offer two schemes that take place in the winter and summer, where students join us in their penultimate or final year of undergraduate study. On our vacation scheme, you’ll immerse yourself in a specific practice area, developing in-depth expertise and lifelong contacts. Before you join, we will ask you to choose the area that most interests you to ensure that you get the experience you’re looking for. However, during your time with us you will be exposed to a multitude of other areas as well, giving you a better depth of knowledge to know exactly what practice area you ultimately want to pursue. Alongside your legal work, you will attend sessions about key elements of our practice, whilst developing the skills you need to be a successful international commercial lawyer.
We also encourage you to network as much as possible when you are here, so we organise socials and informal opportunities for you to meet people from across the firm. Each student will then be considered for a training contract following the completion of the vacation scheme. International vacation scheme Cultural awareness, teamwork and a global mind-set are skills that are vital to your success as a lawyer here. That’s why our lawyers work in multi- jurisdictional teams on a daily basis, and, why we expect and encourage them to work overseas at least once during their career. This is why we offer our international vacation scheme to London students, giving them the chance to apply for the opportunity to spend an additional week of work experience in one of our international offices. This is just another way that we support our students along their paths to success.
