Hill Dickinson trainee recruitment application

Vacation scheme

Why is a vacation scheme important for future lawyers?

  • Legal work experience is an essential part of any future lawyer’s CV.
  • Spending time with a law firm should cement your career choice – you will see what day-to-day life as a lawyer is like first hand.
  • It’s a chance for you to test drive the firm you want a training contract with. You should get a feel for the working environment, the location, the type of work the firm does, and the general atmosphere.
