Latham Dubai Summer Vac Scheme

[hlaws20]

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.

The brochure does say return economy flight is covered - so I am assuming it will be in person rather than virtual.

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.

Trueee, do you think you could apply for it with a TC already secured, as the Dubai office don't offer them? (with the hopes of possibly joining as a NQ after)

I think you should be able to since they do not offer TCs in that part of the world. But do email and clarify before you start the application, which is very long

I'll probably go more into detail about the Dubai office and the ME region in general, really not sure yet. Just important not to repeat yourself

I agree, i might keep my cover letter relatively short because they have asked for the three questions

Hi all, they got back to me and said it will most likely take place virtually rather than in-person in Dubai.

Anything regarding the word count for the questions? Would really appreciate the help!

Is it rolling? I have just found out about this opportunity, so I am thinking about whether it's still worth applying...

I emailed them about 10 days ago and got a reply that they are still reviewing applications, and would be in contact soon.
