Vacation schemes
We run two summer vacation schemes for penultimate year law students and a one-week Easter scheme for first year law students.
Summer vacation scheme
Our summer vacation schemes are open to penultimate year law students. Selection is based on your application form, your performance at interview and the results of a critical thinking test.
Obtain a place on the scheme and you will gain invaluable insight into life and work inside a global legal practice. Your time will be spent within three different practice areas, gaining a wide range of insights and experience. For example, you will:
- be involved in real work with real clients, in much the same way as our trainees are. This will involve drafting, attending meetings, conducting legal research and, where possible, attending court.
- be able to find out about Hogan Lovells broad range of practice areas by attending lunchtime talks and workshops.
- learn how to run a meeting.
- have the opportunity to attend a corporate workshop and an advocacy workshop.
- receive training in presentation skills and undertake a presentation project, working with other vacation students.
- participate in a variety of social events, meeting trainee solicitors, lawyers and partners.
- be paid £300 per week.
Dates
Applications for our summer 2012 schemes have now closed.
Information about our summer 2013 schemes will be on the website from September 2012.
Easter vacation scheme
Our one-week Easter vacation scheme is designed to give first year law students an insight into commercial law and working in a global legal practice. The week will involve workshops, case studies and the opportunity to work-shadow some of our trainee solicitors.
The dates of the 2012 scheme are: 26 – 30 March 2012.
Applications open on 1 October 2011 and close on 15 February 2012. Places on all our first year events will be offered after the application closing date. Candidates will not be required to attend an assessment day for the first year vacation scheme.
