When you think about a career in law, perhaps the first thing that springs to mind is a job in a London-based office, commuting on the tube and relocating your life to the capital. That's a perfectly viable career path if it's what you want—but there are other options.

Beyond London, there are other legal hubs dotted across England and Wales, giving you the chance to work closer to home or even try out a different city. A lot of firms with headquarters in London also have offices in Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol. You could also look to Scotland (particularly if you are studying Scots Law), with ample opportunities existing in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Like in London, a career in one of these locations could start off with a vacation scheme. You might notice that firms offer vacation schemes in multiple locations, or that there's a specific vacation scheme in a region of a firm for you to apply to. If you're considering applying for a vacation scheme in a regional hub, check out the live opportunities over on our jobs board.
