Job Description
We offer two-week summer placement scheme in Edinburgh and Glasgow. And because everyone is an individual, we make sure each placement is a valuable experience for each individual candidate.
While you are here, you will get to know the everyday life of an Addleshaw Goddard trainee. You will be allocated a department to sit in and, for the summer scheme, will swap into a new department in your second week. You will be supervised by an experienced solicitor, who will welcome you to the department and allocate work. A trainee buddy will be on hand to help throughout your placement.
This is a scheme as unique as you are. As well as informative sessions, group exercises, assessed work and plenty of time at your desk, you will attend social events with a range of people across the office. It’s a real chance to get to know our people and our culture. We offer training contracts to successful placement scheme candidates. We recruit for our trainees from our placement schemes and encourage anyone who is interested in a training contract at the firm apply for the placement scheme.
We recruit for our training contracts solely from our placement schemes.
We require a 2.1 honours degree (or equivalent). But what will really open doors to an outstanding career here is the real you.
