Interns

Our internships give students the chance to work on real projects and take on new responsibilities during the summer between their penultimate and final year.

During an internship with us you’ll not only get an authentic insight into what it’s like to be a trainee, you’ll get a first-rate experience too. Because we’re consistently ranked as a top internship provider in Rate My Placement's list of Top Undergraduate Employers. You won’t spend your days photocopying or making the coffee here.

What you’ll do

Your internship with us will start with a two-day orientation, online or in person, kicking off with a celebration evening to get your time with us off to a great start. After this, you'll start to work on real projects, helping our clients grow and developing your skills every day. Here's a a little insight into what you can expect during your time here:

  • Experience how we work with our clients first-hand and help provide the insight, advice and expertise they need to grow.
  • Develop your skills, grow in confidence, and get a good grounding in what it takes to be a trainee.
  • Learn about our dynamic and ambitious firm and enjoy the chance to make a real contribution to it.

As well as a unique insight into our business and lots of real-work experience, you’ll also be on the fast-track to a graduate offer if that’s what you want. Most students who join us on an internship go onto become a full-time trainee after graduation.

And that’s not all. Take a look at everything else you’ll get.
