Vacation Scheme

We offer a two week-long summer placement (normally in June of each year) during which you will undertake interesting projects, get involved with real client work, have opportunities to learn more about each of our practice areas and get involved with firm life. Our summer placement students are supervised by an associate or partner.

We accept applications from:

• Postgraduates; and
• Any other graduate wishing to commence a training contract in two to three years’ time.

Our 2024 vacation placement student and future trainee gave the following feedback:

"The most enjoyable aspect of the vacation scheme was meeting people across all practices and departments. Everyone was very approachable, so I felt comfortable asking questions about their different experiences and day-to-day life at Winston & Strawn. Having people be so welcoming demystified the legal profession for me and gave me a true insight into life at the firm."

Training Programme:

Our trainee solicitors are asked to carry out real legal work from day one, interact directly with clients, and contribute to all aspects of firm life.
