Deadline 16 February 2025Vacation Scheme (2025) leading to Training Contract (2027)Vacation Scheme ProgrammeParticipation on the programme will not only give you the opportunity to come and meet us in person, but it will enable you to get an inside look at what it would be like to train and work at Teacher Stern.It is always recommended you attend a Vacation Scheme Programme as it will increase your chances of securing a training contract with us.How it worksEach summer, usually during June and July, we carry out two or three separate week-long Vacation Scheme Programmes. Each programme is attended by up to eight potential new trainee solicitors.During the week, potential trainees will spend time in one of our core departments: Corporate, Commercial, Employment, Real Estate, and Dispute Resolution, and will have the opportunity to experience life as a trainee solicitor.During the week, you will:<ul><li>Get a feel and understanding for the work the department does</li><li>Be able to take the opportunity to interact with other departments</li><li>Learn how our departments interact on deals and transactions</li><li>Be able to ask questions to partners and fee earners</li><li>Assess whether we really are the right firm for you.</li></ul>During the week, you will also part take in a series of group exercises, interviews and assessments.Don’t worry, it’s not all work and no play! There will also be a series of informal lunches and evenings out with our current trainees and other members of our trainee recruitment team.The week will then end with a formal interview with a partner and a member of recruitment team.Trainee Solicitor ProgrammeOver the two years you will spend six months in each of our three main departments: Dispute Resolution, Real Estate, and Corporate &amp; Commercial.A further six months of your programme may be spent with one of our specialist teams (for example in our&nbsp;Employment&nbsp;department) or in a return to one of the three main departments. You may also have an opportunity to experience and work with some of the smaller departments such as&nbsp;Banking &amp; Finance,&nbsp;Tax&nbsp;and&nbsp;Private Client.&nbsp;Spending time in each department will not just make you a better lawyer, but help you hone in on those areas of law that interest you and those which you may wish to pursue in the future.During each of the six-month ‘seats’, you will gain valuable experience in several different areas of law and work with a variety of partners and solicitors within that department. This ensures you become fully integrated within the firm, get to know everybody, gain a wide range of experience, and have a significant degree of client contact.Most of your legal training will be on the job – there’s simply no better way to learn. But you’ll need to be much more than an expert in law to succeed as a solicitor. As such, you’ll also be given opportunities to develop and broaden your personal skill set. You’ll learn about managing clients, financial management, new business development, networking and marketing.What we look forWe are always mindful when we recruit, that we are looking for the next generation of solicitors and partners in our firm.
