Singapore Summer Vacation Scheme & Training Contract
UK Law Summer Vacation Scheme
Latham’s Singapore office offers one two-week vacation scheme in the summer, for law students in the UK considering applying for a training contract with the firm. The vacation schemes are structured to introduce you to the firm’s work and culture by providing ample opportunity to contribute to current matters, and to meet and socialize with the people who work at Latham.
During the vacation scheme, candidates will be asked to produce written work and participate in a group exercise. Members of the office will deliver presentations on various topics, so that you will be immersed in the firm and gain a thorough appreciation of how Latham works. While you are with the firm, you will enjoy plenty of social events where you will experience the relaxed and open side of Latham. You will also have the opportunity to speak informally with lawyers and trainees, who will be able to answer your questions.
