Summer programme Cooley’s two-week summer programmes (vacation schemes) involve a combination of hands-on work on active matters, shadowing other trainees, dynamic skills sessions, talks 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.
‘I was made to feel right at home as soon as I arrived at Cooley. Everyone went out of their way to engage with me, lawyers and beyond. This gave me the opportunity to be involved in a variety of exciting work, where I felt a valued member of the team and my voice was always heard. Most importantly, it confirmed that Cooley has a vibrant and supportive culture that I know I will thrive in throughout my future career.’
‘Diverse, supportive and highly thought- provoking is how I would describe my experience on Cooley’s vacation scheme. The focus on inclusivity made me feel immediately comfortable and as though I could bring my full self to the workplace. This provided a fertile environment for me to perform at my best, ask questions and build connections – the firm’s culture really is unparalleled. People at all levels set aside time for feedback and support, and your input feels valued immediately. Being valued in your capacity both as colleague and individual, in addition to the breadth and depth of work I was able to experience, was paramount in my decision to join the firm.’
