Description

Our Summer Internship Programme (May – August 2026) Between now and 31 December 2025, we are inviting applications for internships from outstanding students in all years of an undergraduate or graduate law or non-law degree. This internship will take place between May and August 2026. You are required to upload your CV, a cover letter, university transcripts and a short legal writing sample with your application. Once you have submitted your application form, we will review and confirm by email if you have made it through to the next stage. We will ask you to either come to our office for an interview or attend an interview by Microsoft Teams. The Programme Our interns can expect to work with our team on a range of research and writing assignments, as well as preparation for any hearings in which the team is involved during your internship. We demand intellectual excellence from our lawyers and interns, and thus seek students with outstanding academic records. Our standards are uncompromising. But we also want colleagues with whom we can enjoy working together. We seek colleagues who will enjoy the challenge of the fluid, stimulating, high-stakes environment in which we work; who will get their hands dirty with all sorts of work; and who will also have fun with us. In particular, we are looking for candidates who are: at or near the top of their class; passionate about advocacy, research and writing; interested in international cases and issues; able to work well with colleagues and clients from diverse backgrounds and legal traditions; and eager to take on challenging legal assignments and gain substantive, practical experience. Completing the application form Please note that you must complete the form yourself. It must be entirely your own work and the information you give must be complete and accurate. If you have not completed the form yourself or you provide misleading information this may disqualify you from appointment or, if appointed, may result in your dismissal. Note Please note our Singapore office is only licensed to advise on matters of Singapore law in the context of international arbitration. We do not currently offer training contracts in our Singapore office, but we welcome interested candidates to apply to either our London or Hong Kong offices.
