Vacation Schemes

A Fantastic Experience

The London vacation scheme will give you an opportunity to see what it is like working for a global law firm in London. The London vacation scheme is open to law and non-law students.

Our international vacation scheme provides exposure to all you can expect from working in our London office whilst providing an excellent opportunity to experience first-hand what it is like working in another jurisdiction and culture.  The international vacation scheme is open to law students only.

GDL / LPC

Fast and Practical

As of July 2012, Baker & McKenzie will switch to the seven-month fast-track LPC. You will spend seven months studying towards the Baker & McKenzie fast-track LPC at the College of Law prior to commencing your training contract.
