Placement Scheme

Join our placement scheme and we'll make sure you're involved in quality work and will try to help you experience any areas of law you're particularly interested in. You'll be sitting with qualified lawyers and tackling some case work. You'll also benefit from an organised programme of interactive sessions, talks and social events.

A placement gives you a great opportunity to talk informally to existing trainees, lawyers, partners and support teams to find out just why the law and Stephenson Harwood are such attractive career options.

For our London scheme, we'll provide you with an allowance of £485 per week and provide lunches.  We will arrange and pay for accommodation for those who meet our social mobility criteria (for those not resident in London).
