Applications for our Training Contracts, Vacation Schemes, and Open Day all open on 1 October 2023.  Applications to our Solicitor Apprenticeship open on 1 January 2024.

Yes, we welcome applications from candidates with degrees from all disciplines.

It doesn’t matter which university you go to; we value diversity and operate a blind CV policy to avoid any unconscious bias during the process.

We take all relevant information into consideration and look at your application as a whole. We have removed our minimum A-level requirements for our Training Contracts and Vacation Schemes and if you didn’t reach the minimum requirement for a 2:1 in your degree or equivalent, we ask that you provide any mitigating circumstances surrounding this in the relevant part of the application form.

We would strongly encourage you to apply and detail the support you may need on the relevant  part of the application form. We also ask that you contact our graduate recruitment team at grecruitment@mayerbrown.com to discuss the support you require further. It is important we can ensure appropriate reasonable adjustments are made when necessary during the recruitment process.

Once you have submitted your application, you will receive an automatic generated response to confirm we have received it. We aim to communicate decisions as soon as possible.

All of our Vacation Schemes run for 2 weeks. The dates for our 2023 Spring and Summer Vacation Schemes are as follows:

Spring: 15-26 April 2024

Summer: 10-21 June 2024

If you are in your penultimate year of a law degree, you should submit your application after you have received your second-year law results. Non-law undergraduates should submit an application in the final year of their degree. All other graduates can submit their application at any point in the recruitment cycle. All applications open on 1 October each year. However, we strongly recommend that you apply for a Vacation Scheme rather than directly for a Training Contract; the vast majority of our Training Contracts each year are offered to high-performing participants on our Vacation Schemes so that is definitely the most effective way to secure a Training Contract with us.

The deadline for our vacation schemes is 31 January each year. Applications to our training contract close on 31 March 2024. This year, the deadline for our open day is 15 November 2023. Finally, apply to our solicitor apprenticeship before 31 March 2024.

We review all applications on a rolling basis.

Note: All those who have accepted a training contract with us before starting the PGDL/SQE must complete it at BPP Law School in London.

Yes, trainees are given the opportunity to complete a secondment during their Training Contract. A secondment could take you to one of our international offices (these vary; however, we tend to second trainees to Hong Kong). If you don’t want to stray too far, we also have client secondments in London too.

We offer a range of benefits including an on-site GP and counsellor, 25 days’ annual leave, subsidised canteen and gym membership, access to life insurance and automatic enrolment to the firm’s Contributory Pension Plan.
