Vacation Scheme Dates:
Spring: 30 March – 9 April 2027 Summer: 21 June – 2 July 2027
In 2027, Gibson Dunn will host two two-week vacation scheme programmes in Spring and Summer for students interested in pursuing a career with the firm. The schemes are intended for law students in their penultimate or final year of study, students of other disciplines in their final year, recent graduates (in any discipline), and those already taking a GDL, LPC, and SQE course. Scheme participants have the opportunity to take part in seminars and workshops, as well as perform meaningful work on the firm’s high-profile matters. Vacation scheme students will be paid a competitive rate of £750 per week to cover expenses during the programme. Additional support towards travel and accommodation costs will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and to be discussed with the Graduate Recruitment team.
The vacation schemes are designed for students who wish to apply for a training contract with the firm.
Applications for the 2027 vacation placements will be accepted from 1 September 2026, with a deadline of 8 January 2027. Please be advised that places on our vacation scheme will be allocated on a rolling basis and so early application is advised.
