Summer Vacation Scheme – University Students
Our summer vacation scheme is an ideal way for University students studying law to gain experience in a modern, progressive law firm.
Each placement is for one week and you will spend your time working in a variety of departments including Private Client, Family, Property, Dispute Resolution and Commercial. Wollens are one the the largest independent law firms in the South West, employing 150 people with exceptional specialists across private client and commercial law. The business has showed steady growth in recent years with a firm wide re-brand in 2019. We are ranked as a Top Tier firm in the current Legal 500 Directory. Alongside this we are accredited by Carbon Neutral Britain aligning our commitment to sustainable working.
We have offices in Torquay, Exeter and Barnstaple and each office will be offering placements.
We offer the scheme at the end of June/beginning of July.
