Vacation Schemes

'A vacation placement with Linklaters is a great way to find out if you have what it takes to become a world-class lawyer. You'll benefit from real work experience at the heart of a global law firm. You'll share an office with a qualified lawyer. You'll work on real deals and projects. And you'll feel exactly what it's like to be part of the team.

If you're a law student, you should apply for a Summer vacation scheme. If you're not studying law, you should apply for the two-week Christmas vacation scheme, although we do make a few places available on the Summer vacation scheme for penultimate-year non-law students who can't attend at Christmas because of local differences in the academic calendar.

We also run a Christmas clerkship for Australian students and June internships for Indian students who are interested in applying for training contacts in the UK. Both of these schemes are held in London.

If you would like to read the views of student who has already done a scheme, take a look at the profile of Victoria Marshall. Her experiences are very recent. She and the other vacation scheme students are now back at university and haven't necessarily decided to join Linklaters. Of course, reading about the scheme is never the same as actually doing one. Whichever scheme you decide to do, we can guarantee you a stimulating and valuable experience.'
