Take things further

Bond Pearce runs a week's vacation placement during July.

This is a great opportunity to work with one of our highly specialised teams and gain valuable insight into the working life of a Bond Pearce Lawyer. During the placement you will have the opportunity to:

• See and understand the firm's values and culture;
• Work within a team;
• Gain practical "on the job" experience;
• Meet other trainees;
• Enjoy social activities.

You will also have the opportunity to carry out a "mock" client meeting and be part of a training session which will provide you with some practical skills for the future.

There two application forms, one for the vacation scheme and the other to apply for a training contract only. If you are applying for both, you only need to complete the vacation scheme form.

Placement application form

Trainee application form

We still have vacancies available for 2009. The application form for training contracts starting in 2009 and 2010 should be downloaded and returned by 31 July 2008. The address for submission can be found on this form.

The application deadline for the work placement scheme is 11 April 2008.

We try to make the whole business of recruitment as easy as possible. If your application is successful at the short listing stage, you will be invited to one of our assessment days that take place in September. We look to recruit 20 trainees across the training centres. We appreciate that such days are always stressful, but we try and make ours as relaxed as possible. Some of our candidates even enjoy themselves! During the day, you will be asked to participate in a number of different exercises, designed to look at the full range of your skills. Obviously we will be forming a detailed impression of you, but equally there's an opportunity for you to do the same with us. You will have the chance to meet a wide range of our people − from Partners and Associates through to current Trainees. We hope that you will think that we are right for you and, if we think you're right for us, we won't leave you hanging around. We have been known to assess and make offers on the same day.
