Our Vacation Scheme is a great way to experience 'real work'
In 2025 we will be running three vacation schemes, one in the Spring and two in the Summer.
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 workshops, departmental presentations, social activities and visits to the courts.
Our aim is to offer vacation scheme students a real insight into what it would be like working as a trainee at the firm.
