Job Description

The vacation scheme is a chance to experience the working environment of a successful regional commercial practice. It's also an opportunity to show us your potential as a future trainee--many of our current and past trainees started by doing a holiday placement with us before joining the firm.



Successful applicants will spend one week at a chosen office discovering each of its different disciplines, including corporate commercial, employment, litigation and commercial property. You will work with current trainees and qualified solicitors and learn what training might entail. We aim to get you involved in client meetings, hearings and seminars.



As with all firms, places on our work experience scheme are limited in number.
