INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME
What we offer
Real work, embedded in a team: Interns are placed in a practice team and contribute to live matters — legal research, drafting, disclosure and case preparation — rather than remaining passive observers.
Mentorship: Each intern is assigned a supervising lawyer and paired with a junior mentor who supports day‑to‑day learning and helps you navigate firm life.
Court and client exposure: Opportunities to attend hearings, client meetings and internal strategy sessions, and to assist with trial preparation where appropriate.
Social and professional integration: Interns are encourage to mingle with our lawyers so you can experience our culture and form professional connections.
Stipend and support: We offer a modest honorarium for internships.
