Vacation placements
Our vacation placements are a good way of finding out what life as a trainee at Trowers & Hamlins is really like.
Each year, we offer 38 summer vacation placements across our London and Manchester offices. Each placement is for 2 weeks and provides experience of two different departments. During your time with us, you will be treated as a trainee solicitor, get involved in 'real' work such as drafting, undertaking research and attending client meetings as well as having the opportunity to meet a range of people from around the firm from support staff to partners. In each department you experience you will be designated a 'buddy' who will introduce you to the department and be on hand to offer you guidance and advice. You will also have a supervisor, usually a senior solicitor, to offer you counsel on the various pieces of work that you will be given.
The remuneration is currently £225 per week in London and £170 per week in Manchester.
Open Day
Each year we run two Open Days. One in June for candidates who are unable to attend our vacation placement and one in December specifically for 1st year students looking to find out further information about a career with Trowers & Hamlins. During the course of the day attendees receive presentations by various members of the firm on a range of topics from what it is like to train with Trowers & Hamlins to what it is like being a trainee out in the Middle East. We aim to give you a deeper understanding of who we are, and what we do and how we do it.
As well as the presentations, there will be lunch with some of our trainees and partners, a tour of the firm and a range of activities throughout the day aimed to assess your team working and communication skills.
The next Open Day will be on Thursday 18 December 2008. If you are interested in attending please send your CV together with a covering letter to Hannah King, Graduate Recruitment Officer, on hking@trowers.com.
