    Hey All,

    As law firms start to announce their opening and closing dates for the upcoming vacation scheme cycle, we'll keep an updated list on this below. In all cases, we'll post only when it's verified on the firm website with the link. We will also split between Winter/Spring/Summer where the dates differ.

    Here is the initial formatting, but I will adjust this for easier reading as we grow the list of firms. There are also still plenty of firms to add: If anyone else wants to help, please comment with more firms, the relevant dates, and a link to the firm website.

    Thank you!

    Useful list with application deadline dates. But do look into the individual firms as there are several errors on there re training contract commencement date (as in wrong year!) and also salaries quoted are lower than they actually are in some cases.

    Is it safe to assume that more will be added in the next few weeks? What is the usual/average application deadline for Winter Vac Schemes? Thanks!

    Yes - we'll be updating this tomorrow! Generally I'd expect it to be the end of October/first week of November.

    Agree with Jaysen - always tends to be end of October/early November to allow enough time to cover careers events and also to cover some universities reading weeks at the last week of October.

    Hey Jaysen - do you know when Allen & Overy are opening their winter vacation schemes, as I believe last year it was 3rd August? and I can’t find nothing on their website :(

    Sorry I missed this - yes I believe it was the 3rd August last year for all schemes. The deadline was then the 18th October 2020 for the Winter scheme. Will keep an eye out and update!

    Hi Jaysen, is it worth applying to Clifford Chance if you are now a graduate? Asking from your experience when speaking to others on here :)

    Some people have told me I am wasting my time if I do. As they mainly accept via their SPARK scheme.

    Clifford Chance have in the last few years been very clear that they prioritise penultimate year undergrads. However, we know of graduates who have still secured a TC with the firm, and so clearly it is still possible to get a TC with them despite this approach by the firm.

    Hey! I think that Allen & Overy's applications will open on the 16th of August. I saw this in an automated email reply from graduate recruitment. Grad Rec Email.png
