Criminal law vacation schemes

At the end of a vacation scheme, you may be considered for a training contract.
Your salary will depend on the law firm and the location of your vacation scheme.
It could range from merely covering travel expenses to a weekly salary of up to £500.
Take a look at our deadlines calendar for specific law firm salaries.

A legal vacation scheme is usually offered to students by a law firm for them to experience life as a solicitor at their firm.
However, it is much more than simple work experience, the scheme focuses on giving students real-life experience of working in a firm while additionally giving them real work and experiencing the culture of the firm.

This is a chance to get a taste of life at a Top 100 law firm in East Anglia.
Many of our current trainees completed our vacation scheme before joining us full time.
We operate the scheme once per year and is one of the best possible ways to enjoy and experience what it would be like to work at Birketts.

The vacation scheme provided an excellent insight into the life of a trainee lawyer.
From the very first day, everyone I interacted with was passionate about their area of law and excited to speak to you.
The open culture meant I could be myself and really make the most out of my time at the firm.
