Ask Reed Smith Anything! (2026-27)

[RikPalmer-ReedSmith]

Hi @ReedSmithBecca and @RikPalmer-ReedSmith, my name is Digvijay Singh, I am an international applicant to your vacation scheme. I was wondering, if selected in your vacation scheme, during my time with the firm, can I contribute to your firm's Insights or blog on commercial issues that I am interested in, and collaborate on this with perhaps a trainee or a partner?

I am highly interested in writing on commercial issues, and was wondering if this would be possible.

Hi there - Our scheme is designed to be hands on. Whilst we will hope to match you to areas of interest, our primary goal is to assess your work in order to determine suitability for a training contract. For that reason it is unlikely we will be asking you to publish on behalf of Reed Smith. however, once a trainee, opportunities will arise to get involved with things like this

Hi everyone! A few more questions:

1. If invited to the 3rd stage (written application form), how long are you given to complete the form?
2. For the work experience section in the online application form, what is the maximum number of experiences that we should mention in the work experience section? I have 10 experiences I could mention. Would that be too many?
