Our Vacation Schemes take place twice in the year in the form of two 2-week schemes in the Summer.
Vacation Scheme students will be paid £750 for completing each week.
The scheme will follow our internal programme, which includes a number of talks, workshops, and a negotiating exercise. There will also be department insights and close contact with trainees. The week is designed specifically for students to be given an authentic taste of a City lawyer's work. There are also working lunches and informal evening events.
The exact dates of each scheme are:15 June to 26 June 2026, and 29 June to 10 July 2026
What we are looking for
At Travers Smith, you’ll be trusted with real responsibility from day one—speaking to clients, joining meetings, and managing your own work, all with plenty of support and guidance. That’s why we look for people who match academic strength with clear-headed judgement and practical sense; who are determined, communicative, and quick-thinking; who are motivated and bring a positive, down-to-earth attitude to their work, alongside a healthy sense of humour.
A law degree is not a necessity – over 45% of our trainees have non-law backgrounds.
