Closing Date for Training Contract Applications for 2011 and 2012 is 31 July 2010.

Undergraduate Opportunities

The vacation placement scheme offers an excellent insight into DWF. Each vacation placement lasts for one week, where the successful candidate will spend time with a Partner, Associate or Senior Solicitor and will get involved in all of the aspects of the team in which they are in. In addition, each candidate receives valuable training and development during the week and has the opportunity to mix socially with current trainee solicitors and other vacation placement scheme candidates.

Vacation schemes are held during June and July and the same application process is used as for a training contract.
