Latham Dubai Summer Vac Scheme

[asstronaut]

Hi everyone, I thought I'd start this thread! I'm thinking of applying to Latham Dubai for their Summer VS. Is anyone planning on doing it too?

Hii, I'm quite interested in applying, but saw the application process was v v long! Do you know if they offer TCs from it?

 

[asstronaut]

Not sure if they offer TCs. Yeah, it's a long written application! And I'm not sure what the process is after the written app too

Hi guys! I'm interested as well, though their website states that the Dubai office is not regulated by the SRA so they don't offer TCs unfortunately

Usually only a page

I feel like it could be super repetitive esp cause a lot of the content will be covered in the questions ahaha

Also does anyone know if we can apply for both the London Vacation scheme and the Dubai internship? And does anyone know if the Dubai internship is rolling?

Truee, maybe focus on why the ME/the Dubai office? Do you know if there's a word count on the questions?

No idea, I might email and ask

I'd be interested to know if upon email, they give guidance as to the word count! I was thinking max 300 words, just going off other applications and I think anything over that might mean I'm not as concise.

What are you guys going to write for your CVs?

 

[asstronaut]

Does anyone know if Latham Dubai is on a rolling basis?

Does anyone know if there is a restriction on what year you have to be in to apply for the Dubai Vac Scheme, as it says all undergraduates and graduates?

Confused, if it says all undergraduates and graduates why would there be a restriction lol?

Typically vacation schemes are limited to penultimate year / final year non law. It was just a question to see if anyone else had more information.

Did you guys make your answers specific to the Dubai office?

 

[asstronaut]

Will the Dubai scheme be virtual or in-person?

 

[LEL]

Will the Dubai scheme be virtual or in-person?

Restrictions aren't as tight in the UAE at the moment, so I would assume they are expecting in-person hopefully. But you should email them to get a definite answer.

Hi all, I am also interested in applying for this vacation scheme given my Middle Eastern background. Since they do not offer TCs, this is basically a paid legal work experience opportunity with flights and accommodation covered. I am guessing it will be very competitive since it has very broad eligibility criteria and all expenses covered.
