S&C offers a two-week summer placement scheme for candidates interested in joining the Firm as a trainee.
During these two weeks, summer placement students shadow a partner or senior lawyer 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.
Participants in the summer vacation scheme are paid not less than £750 per week.
