DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS
Our Summer Vacation Scheme is designed to give you a realistic taste of what it's like working for a global law firm. We'll involve you in live work. You'll attend client meetings and network with fee-earners of all levels - Partners, Associates and Trainee Solicitors. A lunch with our Management Committee will also give you a better understanding of the Firm's overall strategy.
Over the course of three weeks, we'll give you experience in two different seats, with an allocated supervisor and a buddy in each. Since pro bono work is such an important aspect of what we do, you'll also get to undertake a pro bono project.
Along the way, there'll be training sessions to help familiarise you with some of our typical transactions and develop some of the key skills you'll need as a Trainee Solicitor. You'll also take part in a client pitch exercise, which is a great opportunity to work closely with other people on the Vacation Scheme.
The scheme is run over three weeks between Monday 14th June and Friday 2nd July 2027.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
