FAQs

Although very exciting, we appreciate applying for Vacation Schemes can be overwhelming. We have set out some frequently asked questions below to help you with your queries.

Q: What format will the interview be in for the selection process?

The interview will take place virtually via Microsoft Teams and will be competency based. It will be with a member of Human Resources and the practice area you have selected.

If you require reasonable adjustments to be made during the interview process or are unable to attend a virtual interview, please let us know in advance so that any support, aids or adaptations can be put in place to assist you in the interview process.

Q: Will I hear back when my application is submitted?

Please look out for a pop up message on your screen which will confirm receipt of your application (you will not get an email confirmation). Due to the volume of applications, we will not be able to respond to everyone. If you have not heard from us within 4 weeks, your application has not been successful on this occasion.

Q: Will I be offered a Training Contract or Paralegal role if I am successful on the Vacation Scheme?

No. We do not offer direct Training Contracts as a route to qualification.

As part of the placement, you will be informally assessed by your allocated team and successful candidates will have the opportunity to join our excellent Vacation Scheme Mentoring Programme. Our Mentoring Programme is a fantastic way to continue to build on and develop your professional relationships and knowledge once the Vacation Scheme has ended.
