Exeter Summer Scheme 2026

Our Summer Schemes in Exeter are a great way for you to find out what really makes Ashfords a great place to train. During a week-long placement, you will have the opportunity to meet our people and get a taste of some challenging yet rewarding trainee work, across three different departments. During the week, you will have the opportunity to secure a 2028 Training Contract with the firm by participating in an assessment centre. To round things off, on the Friday you will participate in a range of workshops, activities and a networking lunch.

The Exeter Summer Schemes will take place the weeks commencing Monday 1st June and Monday 8th June 2026.

To be eligible to apply, you must be in your penultimate year of a qualifying law degree or final year of a non-law degree. We also look forward to receiving applications from graduates and those pursuing a new avenue in their career.

Please note that applications will close on 31 March 2026, and all applications are reviewed after this date. Unfortunately we will be unable to consider any applications made after this date, or applications received outside of our recruitment portal.

Please ensure you only make one application to either an assessment centre or summer scheme in your preferred location. Duplicate applications will not be considered.

At Ashfords, we value hearing directly from individuals, not AI. While we appreciate that AI tools can be useful for idea generation, we kindly ask that your application is written by you and not produced using ChatGPT or similar tools.

Application deadline: 31 March 2026
