Vacation Scheme

We offer second, third and final year university students and graduates who are interested in a career in property law the exciting opportunity to undertake a varied and hands-on placement within our team of specialists. The one-week placement is designed to give participants an insight into life at a niche commercial property law firm, as well as the opportunity to develop their own skills and knowledge of commercial property law and the legal industry in practice.

The week includes:
‍
Meeting partners, solicitors and other members of the team (including our D.O.G.S if they’re not too busy!); legal research tasks; drafting tasks; and shadowing solicitors on active deals.

In 2026, we will be offering 1-week placements in the Summer (July-September).
