Summer Vacation Schemes

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

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 buddy who will introduce you to each department and be on hand to offer you all the guidance you need. You will also 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 £485 per week in London and £445 per week in Birmingham, Exeter and Manchester.

The dates of our upcoming schemes are:

Scheme 1: Monday 8 June to Friday 19 June 2026

Scheme 2: Monday 22 June to Friday 3 July 2026
