If you would like to spend some time at Anthony Collins Solicitors, in order to understand the work that we do and meet the people who do it, a vacation scheme may be just the right opportunity for you. 

You will spend two weeks with us, splitting your time between two departments. We will assign you a trainee as a buddy, and a fee earner as a mentor and assessor. During this time you will have had the opportunity to be involved in the work that we do and we will provide you with constructive feedback at the end of the two weeks. 

Our vacation scheme will run between 2-13 July 2018. We are accepting applications from 1 January 2018 to 9 March 2018 and you will need to apply via the vacancy page. The selection criteria to apply is the same as our training contract.

If your application is successful, we will invite you to an interview and a psychometric testing session. 

We're holding an open day on 30 January 2018. If you'd like to attend, please send your CV to openday@anthonycollins.com
