Winston & Strawn Vacation Scheme 2026

You can get to know us through our vacation scheme, designed for students who wish to apply for a training contract with the firm. It is intended to provide you with hands-on experience across our various practices while exposing you to how our London office functions. On top of training, you will also enjoy attending our office social events. The one-week vacation scheme takes place in early June.

We are accepting applications from students who have achieved or are projected to achieve a 2:1 or above at degree level and who have excellent communication and analytical skills. Applicants must have completed their SQE 1 & 2 by the start date of March 2028.

Applications are open from 1 December to 31 January 2026
