Internship
Our Internship is aimed at students pursuing a Master's degree or holding an LL.M who would like to gain first-hand experience with a leading law firm. This is a unique opportunity and an invaluable introduction to the everyday life of being a lawyer.
We offer paid internships, lasting 3 to 6 months, throughout the year in all our practice areas: Global Loans, Corporate, Investment Funds and Tax. You may choose a particular field of law or take the opportunity to get an overview of the various areas of law we practise.
Right from the start, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of exciting and market leading transactions. You will be deeply involved in your team and will work alongside experts who will coach you and provide you with valuable and constructive feedback. A mentor will support you in all professional matters and provide guidance. Where possible, we seek to retain the best performing graduates at the end of the internship as trainee lawyers or junior associates.
