What is a vacation scheme?
A vacation scheme offers you the opportunity to get a taste of life as a lawyer at Schillings and to see how the firm works from the inside by spending one week working alongside one of our award winning litigation teams. We will provide a programme of events designed to demonstrate the type of work we do, the clients we work for and how we have been able to establish the high profile and reputation we have in our field of law.
We will provide you with the opportunity to:
- Sit in on discussions where we decide our approach to client issues
- Attend court
- Assist with client matters.
- Research and present to the firm on a topical issue
- Attend Schillings Academy presentations
- Support the business development team with various marketing activities
We will provide you with a ‘buddy’ from within our fee earning team to support you during your time with us and the vacation scheme will provide you with the opportunity to make a name for yourself within the firm and establish valuable relationships with our fee earners.
