Summer Vacation Scheme and Work Experience

Summer vacation scheme

Based in our Bournemouth offices, our summer vacation scheme will give you a wide exposure to a variety of different teams. We will provide you with an understanding as to what working at a law firm is like and give you an opportunity to work under the guidance of experienced lawyers, so you can understand more about what they do and the area of law they’re passionate about.

Our vacation scheme is open to LLB undergraduates or those finishing their Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL).

We are no longer accepting applications for our 2024 summer vacation scheme. We will likely open applications for our 2025 summer vacation scheme in January 2025.

Here’s some thoughts from our 2023 summer vacation scheme attendees:

“The Vacation Scheme was an invaluable experience, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. The insights I gained, the people I met, and the tasks I had the privilege to work on have enriched my understanding of the field and further fueled my passion for law.”

“My experience on the summer placement scheme was a very positive one, I had the opportunity to meet some amazing people at Steele Raymond and participate in a wide variety of complex work, which I received fantastic support with. Steele Raymond were very focused on how I developed throughout the duration of the summer placement scheme and introduced me to a wide variety of practice areas that I had never experienced before. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at the firm.”

Work experience for individuals still at school

To ensure we can give a really good experience, regrettably we currently reserve our work experience placements for undergraduate students only. This may change – we will update this webpage if it does.
