Pinsent Masons offers two different opportunities for Edinburgh students. Firstly, they offer Vacation Placements for those who are considering a career in law. These two-week placements are the perfect introduction to Pinsent Masons and a route to securing a Training Contract at the Firm. They design, structure and develop the placement programme to give you an experience which is practical and enjoyable whilst authentically reflecting the Trainee Solicitor experience.

Alternatively, students can apply directly for a Training Contract (TC). Pinsent Masons are proud to offer a 2-year programme for trainee lawyers, providing you with the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of practice areas and develop the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the legal profession. Their training contract is designed to provide you with a solid foundation for your future career, and includes mentoring, training, and support to help you reach your full potential.
