Our Vacation Scheme provides real insight into what it's like to train and work at Goodwin while giving you the opportunity to get to know us better.

You will witness first-hand the work we do for our clients by shadowing partners and associates, attending meetings, and getting involved in real work for departments — leaving our programme with valuable mentors and a large professional and social network. All Vacation Scheme candidates are automatically considered for a place on our Trainee Solicitor Programme.
