Full job description
This five-day scheme, running Monday 28 June to Friday 2 July 2027 at the London office, is for students at the start of their degree: first-years on three-year courses and second-years on four-year courses, from any subject. Participants shadow a trainee, join group negotiation exercises, speed-network with lawyers and attend an application skills workshop, and are paid 525 pounds for the week. Applications open on 2 November 2026 and close on 15 January 2027, followed by an online situational-judgement assessment and a short telephone interview. Around 25 places are offered each year. The firm says participants must have the right to work in the UK, and international students on a student visa can take part only if the dates fall outside their term time.
