Law internships & spring weeks 2027
This page tracks every live UK law opening for the 2027 application cycle: spring weeks, summer internships, off-cycle roles and industrial placements, pulled directly from employers' own application systems rather than copied from other job boards. UK law firms run structured vacation schemes with hard deadlines and long lead times, and most training contracts are awarded through them, so tracking scheme openings is the single most important part of a law application strategy. Right now there are 155 live openings on this page, including roles at Dentons, Ashurst, Thackray Williams, Dechert LLP and Wiggin, and 2 of the most recent postings have a deadline within the next two weeks. Each row links straight to the employer's official application form, and new postings appear here within minutes of going live, so you can apply before the crowd arrives. Set up a free instant alert below and we will email you the moment a new law programme opens.
