Open days and vacation placements
Open Days
A visit to a Burges Salmon Open Day is strongly recommended. Open Days are held in Bristol and comprise a series of activities including presentations from lawyers on their practice areas, case studies of current trainees, lunch and a tour of the office. Candidates are also given a short, informal interview with a partner and the trainees run a group negotiation exercise.
Vacation Placements
Our summer Vacation placements are highly recommended to anyone wishing to pursue a career as a solicitor. During your two week placement you will visit two departments of your choice supervised by a partner or senior solicitor and you will have the opportunity to attend court visits and client meetings. Our trainees run skills training sessions and this is coupled with a whole host of sports and social events.
Selection for Vacation Placements is via our Open Days.
