Summer work experience schemes 2025

Job description

Our summer work experience schemes are designed to offer you the opportunity to experience life as a trainee at the firm and find out more about our work and our culture.

During the scheme, you will sit in one of our legal groups and will get involved in legal work and conducting hands-on legal research. There will be a trainee solicitor assigned to you, who will help you to settle in and will be available throughout your scheme to answer any questions and assist with any tasks you may be given.

Throughout your time in the firm, you will also take part in training, workshops and interactive case studies, and different social activities will be organised to give you opportunities to talk with partners, associates and trainees outside the office.

We run three schemes each summer in our London office. Please visit our website for more details on the scheme and our 2025 dates.

If you attend the summer scheme, you will be offered the opportunity to interview for a training contract. Your interview will take place in the third week of the scheme.

Our summer schemes are for penultimate year students (and first year students on a two-year accelerated law degree).
