Our summer and autumn Vacation Schemes are designed to give students a challenging and rewarding experience, to develop skills and deepen knowledge of the law, while building networks with solicitors and other professionals in the field. This programme is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain an insight into life at TWM, to get a feel for what it is like to work as a trainee lawyer at the firm and determine whether TWM might be a good fit for you. 

Placements are for two weeks and take place across various teams in our Guildford office, with up to four places to be filled in 2026. Successful applicants are paid £451.77 per week.

Success stories

I thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks I spent at TWM. The way the scheme was structured gave us a fantastic insight into each department, and I felt genuinely welcomed and supported throughout.

Hannah Devine
Summer Vacation Scheme Attendee 2025

The friendliness of all staff. Every single person I have met throughout my time here has been approachable and welcoming. Additionally, the tasks were very well chosen. They were varied and based on real life matters, which aided my legal experience and training exceptionally.

Nicole Crespo O'Donoghue
Summer Vacation Scheme Attendee 2025

The time I have spent at TWM for two weeks in July has been invaluable. The sense of a ‘community’ and support from peers is so rare to find in legal practice, but such a breath of fresh air.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend the vacation scheme to others wanting an insight into how the firm runs, the different sectors they offer and a practical experience in the legal industry.
