Applications for the 2025 Summer Vacation Scheme are now open and close on 9 February 2025.

Kick start your legal career at Marriott Harrison, where you will be provided with the space to thrive, connect and succeed. You will become part of the team from day one and learn from the very best in the business. 

Before hitting that all important ‘submit’ button, we have outlined a few tips and tricks below to help set you up for success in your application:

  • Double-check your application for errors and that you have completed each section fully.

  • Research the firm and know why you want to be a part of our team and how it aligns with what you are looking for.

  • Using AI is useful to get some tips for how you might answer each question, but do not copy and paste, it is easy to tell and will likely result in an unsuccessful application. 

  • Think about ways in which you can distinguish yourself from other applicants. We see hundreds of applications so think about how you and your experience can set you apart.

Our process for reviewing applications and offering a Summer Vacation Scheme is fairly easy. Once the deadline hits, CVs are reviewed blindly (to assist with removing any unconscious bias) by our core recruitment group. Once applications have closed, we prepare a shortlist. If you are shortlisted, you will be invited to our Assessment Centre which will take place on 19 - 20 March 2025. Following on from the Assessment Centre, candidates will be informed of the outcome towards the end of March.

A few final points that are worth noting:

  • We want to set you up for success throughout the recruitment process. If you have particular special circumstances that you would like us to take into consideration, please let us know on your application form, we are more than happy to accommodate your needs.

  • Candidates participating in the Scheme will be paid £450 for the week. Travel costs will not be covered.

  • Marriott Harrison has historically paid the LPC and SQE fees of successful applicants who are yet to start the LPC or SQE at the time they accept their offer. 

  • We only accept applications from candidates who will be in a position to commence a training contract in 2026.

  • The trainee salary in 2026 will be £40,000 for the first year and £42,000 for the second year.

If you are unsuccessful in your application and are not invited to the Assessment Centre, we unfortunately are unable to provide feedback or references due to the volume of applications we receive.
