Please does anyone have an idea of what Shearman & Sterling Vacation Scheme experience is like? Particularly the written exercise, case study and partner interview.

Thank you

Hi @Tiffany Ehimiaghe,

Welcome to the forum! It is fantastic to have you here. I assume that you are asking this because you have been invited to the VS at S&S? If so huge congratulations. That's a massive achievement.

I know that you asked this question a little while back. However, I am very happy to talk about my experiences of vacation schemes, written exercises and partner interviews. I also did two scenario-based interviews with HSF and various article-based interviews too.

I did not do the Shearman scheme, so apologies if you are looking for something very specific!

Have you got a scheme with them coming up?

I did not do the scheme either, but I know people who did. Is it a virtual scheme or in-person this year? I have heard that when virtual, the scheme is geared almost entirely around the assessments. For advice on case studies and interviews, read @Jacob Miller's comprehensive advice here!

Hi @Tiffany Ehimiaghe,

I have just realised that this may well have been for a Winter Vacation scheme! How did it go?

Fingers crossed that it went well
