Training

We typically aim to recruit our trainee solicitors from our vacation scheme. Participants take part in the summer vacation scheme with the potential of joining one of our teams and commencing our Training Programme.

Vacation Scheme

We are inviting applications for our one-week vacation scheme, commencing on Monday 29 June 2026! Our hope is that the vacation scheme will give participants a real taste of working at Lee & Thompson, whilst helping us to identify future trainee solicitors who have a passion for working in a law firm specialising in the media, technology and creative industries.

Work Experience

Because we want to ensure that our Vacation Scheme is as inclusive and rewarding as possible, we do not currently offer alternative forms of work experience at Lee & Thompson.
