Have you ever considered a career in law? It’s a myth that only law students can become lawyers. In fact, around half of the trainees we take on at Simmons & Simmons studied a non-law degree in subjects ranging from politics to biochemistry and economics to modern languages. We’re looking for people just like you! Simmons & Simmons is a leading international law firm with fully integrated teams working throughout our offices in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We offer a range of paid vacation schemes and open days throughout the year for non-law students at different stages of study and if you’re not sure if a career in law will suit you, they are an ideal way to get hands on, real life work experience. And with a full programme of skills sessions, workshops and social events, you’ll get a valuable insight into life here and the commercial world in which we operate. Why not find out which scheme you could apply for using our job match tool? Applications opened on 01 October and as we recruit on a first come first served basis, whichever scheme you choose, be sure to put your application in early to avoid missing out.
