The vacation scheme
Students from the UK and around the world in their penultimate year of law, final year of non-law studies, or graduates are encouraged to apply for our two-week vacation schemes, based in the London office. We hold one winter, one spring and three summer vacation schemes open to both law and non-law students and graduates.

Applications for the 2010 vacation schemes have now closed. Applications for winter 2010 and spring and summer 2011 wil open on 1 October 2010.



The training contract
The deadline for training contract applications is 31 July 2010 for a start date of March 2012/September 2012. Penultimate and final year law undergraduates, final year non-law undergraduates, and all graduates are eligible to apply.

The main training contract interview season takes place during September/October 2010. However, we do interview other eligible candidates throughout the year.

If your application is successful, you will be invited to our London office where you will be asked to review a short case study before being interviewed by two partners. Your visit will include an office tour with one of our current trainees.


In addition to our UK based schemes, we do offer some international training contracts and vacation schemes. Please click here to find out more about these opportunities and how to apply.
