Our Vacation Scheme is a great way to experience 'real work'
In 2024 we will be running two vacation schemes in July. As a vacation scheme student, you are a potential trainee and are therefore treated as such. You will sit with either a partner or a solicitor and you will experience 'real work' of the type that a trainee would undertake. Whilst participating on the vacation scheme you will have an interview for the training contract.
Other activities will include attending lunchtime seminars, visits to the courts and departmental presentations. Our aim is to offer vacation scheme students a real insight into what it would be like working as a trainee at the firm.
