Our summer vacation scheme placements are the perfect way to explore life as a trainee and a team member at our firm.

What we offer

We offer around 50 places across our Birmingham, Exeter, London and Manchester offices each year. During your time with us, you will sit in a couple of departments and be involved in real, immersive work — drafting, undertaking research, attending meetings and collaborating with a range of people across the firm.

You will be teamed with a trainee mentor who will introduce you to each department and be on hand to offer you all the guidance you need. And you will be allocated a supervisor to offer you advice on the work that you will undertake.

Our trainees are valuable to us, so we pay every candidate attending our summer vacation schemes.

This is currently £460.25 per week in London and £400 per week in Birmingham, Exeter and Manchester.

The dates of our schemes this year are

  • Scheme 1: Monday 9 June to Friday 20 June 2025
  • Scheme 2: Monday 23 June to Friday 4 July 2025

Applications for this year's insight events will be open from 1 October 2024 and you will need to complete an online application form to apply.
