Details.
Reed Smith's winter and spring vacation schemes offer students insight into life at the firm and an understanding of the work encountered as a trainee. Attendees can experience a preferred practice or industry group, work with an experienced supervisor on live projects, join a team, and receive support from a trainee buddy. The scheme includes legal and business skills sessions, a group exercise, workshops, feedback from seats, and a final interview. Informal socials provide opportunities to learn about the firm's culture, network, and meet trainees. Attendees are paid a weekly wage in line with the London Living Wage, and candidates based outside London receive a travel accommodation grant. The autumn 2027 recruitment round is for candidates seeking to start their training contract from 2029 onwards.
