What you need to know
We’d like you to meet some of the team who work at Herbert Smith before you apply. It will help you decide if we’re the firm for you. We host a number of events throughout the
year at our London office, at universities and at law fairs. We invite you to attend and to ask us any questions you may have.
First year workshops We run two workshops in the spring at our London office. These are designed to give you a snapshot of the firm. You’ll hear from leading lawyers and take part in interactive workshops that show the variety of law we practise.
Vacation schemes Our vacation schemes are a great introduction to being a trainee at Herbert Smith. Students from the UK and around the world in their penultimate or final year are encouraged to apply. We also welcome graduate applications. As part of your application, we’ll ask you to
complete an online test. If successful, you’ll be invited to our London office for a face-to-face interview. Your visit will include an informal office tour with one of our current trainees. During your placement you’ll be given real work for real clients. Workshops and presentations will show you the breadth of practice areas in the firm. We’ll pay you £350 per week during the scheme and we’ll help you find accommodation. You’ll attend formal and informal social events,
where you’ll meet others on the scheme and a wide range of partners, associates and current trainees. By the end of the scheme you should know if commercial law is the career for you – and whether you’d like to start your career at Herbert Smith. Most vacation schemes are based in our
London office, but we do offer some international placements. Key dates and deadlines can be found at the back of this brochure. More information is available on our website.
Mitasha Chandok – Newly qualified associate As a trainee at Herbert Smith you meet new people every six months and everybody is very helpful. For me, that makes it worth coming to work every morning. I did my law degree in India, so it was particularly important to check that the firm and I were compatible. I did a summer internship to discover that we were!
