Summer placement scheme
We run a summer placement scheme at all our four offices, offering students the opportunity to gain a real insight into life at our firm, develop new skills and meet new people.
The placement scheme lasts for two weeks. Uniquely we offer you the opportunity to work in four different departments where you will be supervised directly by our trainee solicitors.
You will work on live projects and real deals. You will have the opportunity to meet Partners and lawyers, attend departmental and client meetings and court hearings. You will do everything a trainee might do and that includes an active social life!
As part of the placement scheme we run a programme of presentations on the work of our different practice areas. The presentations, delivered by lawyers who trained with the firm, aim to give you a better understanding of our typical transactions as well as providing you with an opportunity to quiz our solicitors and learn more about our clients and work.
We run three, two week placements at each of our offices during June and July.
