The Carson McDowell Vacation Scheme is designed to give those considering applying for a Solicitor Training Contract starting in September the opportunity to experience working with a top-tier corporate law firm and learning from our legal professionals.

Participants can expect to spend a week working with partners, solicitors and trainees across a range of specialist areas of law. Participants will advise on real-life scenarios, participate in skills workshops, negotiate and mediate with partners, solicitors, and trainee solicitors.

When does the Vacation Scheme run?

Monday 15 June 2026 to Friday 19 June 2026.

Candidates who apply must commit to attending the scheme for the whole week.

Come chat with Carson McDowell in One Elmwood foyer on 10 March to find out more.
