  • Guaranteed place on the assessment centre for a Norton Rose Fulbright vacation scheme
  • Mentoring from experienced lawyers at the firm
  • Application support for vacation schemes and training contracts
  • Insight days and skills-based workshops
  • Invitations to exclusive Norton Rose Fulbright events
  • Networking opportunities with employees and clients
  • A graduation celebration to mark the end of the programme
