Vacation Scheme

Whether you’re already considering a career in law or simply exploring your options, our scheme will help you decide whether a future at Cartmell Shepherd could be right for you.

Our 2026 vacation scheme is now closed. Please check back for details of our 2027 scheme in the New Year.

Testimonial

What they said

“I think the placement gave me a valuable insight into what working in a solicitors office is actually like, showing how the theory that I have learned at university is put into practise.”

“Everyone was extremely friendly and considerate in both offices – I would like to thank everyone involved in the placement for taking the time out of their busy schedules to assist me and answer my many questions. It was a truly valuable experience within a truly wonderful team.”

“After completing the Vacation Scheme at Cartmells it has increased my passion towards working for the firm long term. I will definitely be applying for the Solicitor Apprenticeship.”
