These checks are only undertaken with consent, and in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations.

Internship Programme

We offer a two-week internship for university students majoring in law.

The programme is designed to give you a taste of our culture and the kind of work we do. You will be supervised by qualified solicitors and gain an understanding of our practice areas from participating in real work.

There is also an opportunity for a one-week overseas secondment to one of our offices in London or Australia to offer you first-hand experience of working on an international platform.

Entry Requirements

To be eligible you need to have a strong academic record. Strong English and Japanese skills are also required and any addition foreign language skills are welcome.

If you have not met this criteria and there are mitigating circumstances there will be an opportunity for you to provide us with this information on your application.
