Summer Vacation Placement


We appreciate how difficult it is to make the choice of which firm to apply to. You need to take an honest and objective look at all types of firms and consider which will help you achieve your maximum potential as a solicitor. At Davenport Lyons we understand the importance a vacation placement makes in helping you reach the decision of which firms to apply to for a training contract. This is why it is our aim that you are exposed to a true reflection of what life is like as a trainee at Davenport Lyons. You will experience an


unstructured programme, which encourages you to fully integrate into the firm; working alongside highly experienced partners and fee earners, where you will assist with 'real cases' in various practice areas. You will soon discover that no two days are the same!


The Summer Vacation scheme runs annually from July to September and students are paid £250 per week.


If you would like to be considered for a placement with Davenport Lyons, please complete our on-line application form.
