Hey all!
I've just joined the community and I have to say - I feel very happy to have found this method of support.
Anyway, as the title implies, I wanted to see if we could compile a list of firms that offer winter vac schemes! Right now, I 100% know that Slaughter & May do a winter workshop, and they're pretty much one of my dream firms so I'm going to put a lot of effort into that, but there's also Foot Anstey and Thrings as well that have Winter opportunities. I'm aiming for MC or SC though, as I am an international student and really want diversity in clients and potential placements.
Does anyone know of others?
My context: I am a non-law final year (Scottish Uni so about to go into my fourth year in September) with no legal experience as of now, so it's very important to me that I get these. I'll also apply to Spring and Summer but I really am wanting to secure a first so Winter is more attractive for that reason (Diss reasons!). For August, a criminal defence firm in England said they'd give me a paralegal job but I feel a bit iffy about it as it's clearly not commercial or corporate. Nevertheless, I'll accept it because work is work in a legal office!
Anyway, thanks for your contributions to this thread!
