There will also be many opportunities to experience the distinctive, welcoming and collaborative spirit of our firm.During the two-week spring or summer programmes (each of which accepts approximately six people per year, and per programme), you will contribute to meaningful work, engage in professional development sessions, and connect with Cooley colleagues through work assignments and socially.

This will likely include at least one business litigation seat, where work could involve commercial disputes, white collar defense and investigations, international arbitration, employment, product compliance and litigation, or intellectual property matters. Other seats could involve such contentious or noncontentious corporate commercial areas as M&amp;A, private equity and venture capital, life sciences, finance, capital markets, technology transactions and cyber/data/privacy, and compensation and benefits.&nbsp;SalaryWe pay £550 per week for each vacation scheme programme, and we offer a free lunch in Arthur’s, our on-site café, each day.
