Graduates of Weil Gotshal & Manges hoping to tour the Big Apple this year are set to be disappointed after the US firm confirmed recently that they will be scrapping their New York vacation scheme in light of the economic crisis.
The firm – whose New York vacation scheme was launched just one year ago – joins a string of firms, including Norton Rose and Field Fisher Waterhouse, who have recently cut back their summer vacation scheme programmes due to the economic downturn.
Hill Dickinson, however, has bucked the trend by reportedly almost doubling its vacation schemes.
