We believe in investing in the future and growing our own talent. We're able to offer the opportunity to sample life at one of Northern England's largest law firms through two schemes - our Work Experience Scheme and our Vacation Placement Scheme, detailed below.

Work Experience Scheme

Our Work Experience Scheme is specifically aimed at Year 12 students who have identified law as their choice of career. For more information on our Work Experience Scheme please click here.

Unfortunately, due to the current global pandemic we have cancelled our Work Experience Scheme for 2021. We are however looking into the possibility of running a form of 'open day' in the latter summertime which would allow a candidate to find out more about Burnetts and life as a Solicitor.

If you'd be interested in this, please let us know through emailing us at yourfuture@burnetts.co.uk - we will get back in touch with you once we're able to confirm it as taking place or not. This website page will also be updated as and when we have further updates.

Vacation Placement Scheme

Our one-week long Vacation Placement Scheme provides a means of gaining experience in a variety of areas of our business - for more information on our Vacation Placement Scheme please click here.

We hope and expect to be able to run our Vacation Placement Scheme toward the end of 2021 (likely September onward), but are unable to provide fixed dates at this stage due to the uncertainties around the pandemic and office availability.

The deadline for applications to the 2021 scheme has closed as of 30 March. If you have applied, we will be back in touch with you soon - if you have any queries in the meantime, please contact us on yourfuture@burnetts.co.uk.

Applications are now open for our 2022 Vacation Placement Scheme, which will likely run toward the end of 2022. If you'd like to apply, please send your CV and optional Cover Letter to yourfuture@burnetts.co.uk.
