Summer Vacation Placements in Scotland

To apply for a training contract or summer vacation placement in Scotland, please complete the On Line Graduate Application Form

HBJ Gateley Wareing offers a structured summer placement scheme for third year students interested in applying for a training contract with us. Our summer placement scheme reflects the format of HBJ Gateley Wareing’s training contracts. The aim is to offer candidates a snapshot of training with us.

The placements are organised over a three month period between June and September. Each placement lasts four weeks. During this time a student will be offered two "seats" from our four core work areas of corporate, real estate, commercial litigation and private client. There will be involvement in day-to-day departmental work and projects to be delivered by the end of each seat.

The HBJ Gateley Wareing placements' experience is not confined to work. HBJ Gateley Wareing has an enjoyable office environment and our teams are relaxed and friendly. Importantly, we socialise together on a regular basis, whether it be for a few drinks after work, or a team weekend away. Our summer placements are encouraged to join us in these events.

To successfully apply for a summer vacation placement, you should currently be in your third year (or first year of an accelerated course if you are a graduate entrant) of an LLB. As is the case with training contract candidates, we want to hear from quick thinking, commercially-minded individuals with strong interpersonal, verbal and written communications skills.

Summer vacation placements with HBJ Gateley Wareing have proved to be highly popular and we recommend that you apply as soon as possible. To maximise your chances of being successful, please provide us with detailed information on your educational achievements, previous work experience and extracurricular activities.

Please note the application deadline for Summer Vacation Placements in Scotland during Summer 2008 is 31 January 2008. Unfortunately we cannot consider any applications received after this date.
