Shearman & Sterling Vacation Scheme Deadlines

[Jaysen]

Hi All,

Just a heads up, the Spring & Summer vacation scheme deadline for Shearman & Sterling is the 19th January 2020.

From the firm's recruitment page:

Our vacation schemes are the perfect way to gain an insight into life at Shearman & Sterling. The scheme will see you experience two diverse practice groups (one each week), with your personal preferences catered to. The scheme aims to mirror the Training Contract in that everyone will experience at least one of our core transactional groups (M&A, Finance and Project Development & Finance) as well as being allocated a mentor and supervisor to provide advice and support, answer any questions and most importantly – provide you with some work!

You can apply now over here: https://ukgraduates.shearman.com/opportunities/vacation-schemes/.

Kindly note, this is a sponsored post.

Thanks @Jaysen

That's right, our Spring & Summer vacation scheme deadline is approaching - midnight on Sunday 19th January 2020.

This year we are recruiting all our training contract places via our vacation schemes. This will be the final chance to apply in this academic year.

If you have any questions regarding this application deadline, please let me know.

Thanks all.

Hi Paul,

I noticed Shearman & Sterling has offices in other countries such as Canada, Hong Kong, USA. Is the application also for Vacation Schemes in these offices too? Should I apply on the same apply4law page?

Hi Jim,

Good question. A vacation scheme application is to join the UK training contract programme in London. You can do secondments during your training contact (New York, Brussels, Abu Dhabi etc) but essentially you are training and qualifying in the London office.

Thanks,

Paul
