The City of London’s top law firms have, once again, been treating their vac schemers to some wonderful perks that may or may not prove to be a regular feature of their future lawyer lives
Taking a champagne ride on the London Eye — with Linklaters
Going to Paris for the day — with Mayer Brown
Racing down the Thames in a speedboat — with Freshfields
Booze, bowling and karaoke at All Star Lanes — with Baker & McKenzie
Climbing the O2 — with Clifford Chance
Expert cookery lessons from the Underground Cookery School — with Herbert Smith
An evening out at Ping Pong-themed bar Bounce — with Norton Rose
Dinner at the Ivy — with Hogan Lovells
Elsewhere legal life doesn’t seem so much fun. For example, Eversheds’ vac schemers forsake international day trips in favour of day trips to a local allotment. Still, at least they escape the office. No such luck for vac schemers at Simmons & Simmons and Kennedys who are grounded in the ways of the solicitors’ profession by constructing, respectively, “fantastic” legal eagles and spaghetti and jelly baby towers.
