Summer vacation schemeThe best way to learn more about Edwin Coe and what we do is to come and see what we do. Our vacation scheme gives you an insider’s view of a career in law and what it is really like to work here.
This scheme is aimed at providing you with an insight into both the day to day work of a solicitor and what it is like to work at Edwin Coe. You will gain insight from a variety of departments over the course of the week. You will spend each day in a different department being supervised by a qualified associate and getting involved in real work. There will also be the opportunity to attend client or department meetings where appropriate. We expect you to work normal office hours of 9.00 am – 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday. We will reimburse travel expenses up to a maximum of £100. If you are travelling overseas then check with us before planning your trip.
Our summer vacation scheme is aimed specifically at penultimate year law students and final year non-law students and graduates. However, we do accept law students if they are further on in their studies.
