Full job description
This paid two-week summer scheme in London runs from 28 June to 9 July 2027 with about 15 places, and pays 500 pounds a week. Participants get a trainee buddy and a supervising partner or associate, work across two departments, do research and drafting, complete an innovation project and meet clients. It is open to penultimate-year and final-year students and graduates of any degree, and the firm asks for around 120 UCAS points and a 2:1 predicted or achieved. Applications open on 15 October 2026 and close on 15 December 2026, and roles are filled on a rolling basis. Completing a vacation scheme is required to get a training contract for September 2029 or March 2030, and the firm says it offers visa sponsorship for training contracts but not for vacation schemes.
