S&C offers two-week placement schemes in the spring and summer for students interested in joining the Firm as a trainee.
During these two weeks, students are included in a range of work and other activities to help them get a feel for S&C’s work and culture. There are also opportunities to meet socially the people who work at S&C, making this an interesting, rewarding and enjoyable introduction to the Firm and the legal profession more broadly.
Participants in the spring and summer vacation schemes are paid not less than £2,500 in total.
