Vacation Scheme - London

Description

PricewaterhouseCoopers Legal LLP (PwC Legal) is an independent member of PwC international network of firms. Our services include corporate restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, information technology, immigration, pensions, employment, banking, commercial contracts, real estate, litigation private client and environment and sustainability.

We offer domestic and international clients both project-based, specialist legal advice and ongoing general counsel support. Not only do our ambitious growth plans make us an exciting place to launch your career; so does our working model, which is unique in the UK legal services market.

As we’re part of the PwC network, we can call upon the wider network's specialists when we need to offer complete, rounded solutions that incorporate multi-disciplinary advice. We often work with PwC tax advisers, human capital consultants, corporate finance experts, actuaries, management consultants and, of course, accountants. We have access to legal expertise in over 70 countries and immigration expertise in over 112 countries. Thanks to such resources, we can deliver a superior service to clients that goes beyond the purely legal.

What you’ll do

Trainee solicitors can develop into top lawyers in any of our mainstream practice groups:

·         Corporate

·         Banking

·         Litigation

·         Real estate

·         Intellectual property

·         Employment

·         Pensions

·         Immigration

At the same time, exposure to the diverse skill sets of PwC will help you hone strong business advisory skills. You’ll also develop lateral thinking skills, gain practical hands-on experience and help deliver creative solutions.

Summer Vacation Scheme

Our paid, three-week summer vacation scheme is a great way to find out how we work and why we’re unlike any other legal firm, gain exposure to our practice groups and pick up invaluable work experience. The scheme is also a good route towards securing a training contract.

It’s all about you

We welcome penultimate-year law students and final year non-law students with at least a 2.1 honours degree or equivalent, a 320+ UCAS tariff or equivalent and a keen interest in business law.
