Summer Vacation Scheme 2027

With a three-week programme running in the summer, our vacation schemes are the perfect way to take the first steps into your journey as a lawyer.

You'll be treated like one of the team and experience the recognition and support you'll get as a Hogan Lovells Cadwalader trainee — getting involved in major client projects across a range of practices and jurisdictions. We'll give you an authentic, challenging and rewarding experience, so you can get a real taste of your career ahead.

At the end of the scheme, having experienced exactly what it's like to work as part of our team, advise our clients and develop skills on real projects — you'll have an automatic interview to earn a training contract with us.

Scheme dates

Scheme runs 21 June – 9 July 2027
