Internships
Running for a period of four weeks over the summer in our Edinburgh office, our internship programme provides an opportunity to develop your legal skills and gain valuable practical work experience in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Our paid summer internship programme is aimed at Scots Law or dual qualification students who are also looking to secure a legal traineeship.
You will be allocated to a specific legal team throughout the duration of your internship, allowing you to fully immerse yourself into live client projects. All of our students are assigned a “buddy” for day to day support, as well as a mentor to assign your work.
This is an excellent opportunity to broaden your network of professional connections and gain insight into the complex matters our solicitors deal with on a daily basis. We understand that your past work experience may be minimal so we ensure interns are fully supported throughout the process.
Please note the application process for our 2022 summer internship programme has now closed and all places have been filled.
