Summer Vacation Scheme 2023
Our 1 week vacation scheme takes place in either our Bristol or Exeter office and is an opportunity for us to find out more about you, you to find out more about us and to see what life as a Trainee at Michelmores is like. You will spend time in one team for the week which will give you a real hands-on insight into an area of law and life as a trainee. You will attend client meetings and be given ‘real work’.
You will learn about our different departments and areas of work through meeting trainees, partners and lawyers. We run informal lunches which will give you a true insight into working here.
During the week you will take part in a series of assessment exercises, including a group exercise and an article discussion with a partner. You will also have a formal interview with a partner and a member of the graduate recruitment team.
Although we can’t guarantee you a training contract at the end of it, we can guarantee that you will be challenged, have fun and will want to come back as a trainee!
Last year we offered Training Contracts to over 80% of our Vacation Schemers. Our Vacation Scheme is open to 2nd year law students and onwards to apply or 3rd year non law degree students.
