Summer Placements


Gain valuable experience on our summer placement programmes, with the opportunity to convert to a training contract.

To be eligible you must be a final year non-law student, a penultimate/final year law student or have completed your studies. We also welcome applications from those studying or who have already completed the GDL or SQE.

We have paid summer placements available each year which take place in June. We currently have spaces available in London and Reading, however you will also have the opportunity to meet people from our Cambridge and Southampton offices and learn about the work they do.

During your time with us, you will gain valuable experience with our legal departments. We aim to give you as much practical experience as possible, plus the opportunity to experience first-hand how our solicitors and partners work.

In each department, you will be allocated a supervisor, so you have support and guidance during your time with us. You will also have a nominated buddy, one of our current trainees or newly qualified solicitors, so you can hear their experiences first hand.

Additionally, a range of organised activities including a networking event, trainee social and legal research exercises will make your time with us enjoyable as well as insightful. We encourage those on the programme to build relationships and network with our people, and each other.

 

Timeframes for summer placement programme

Applications close for the summer placement scheme. In early February and are reviewed in February and March each year. The recruitment process for our placements will be specified on the job posting for the role.

If you are successful in securing a summer placement you will be assessed by your two supervisors who will recommend whether you should be considered for a training contract with us. If recommended, you will be invited to attend a first stage assessment centre for training contracts.
