Our virtual internship programme gives law students a practical understanding of legal research, drafting and the workings of a litigation practice, from a flexible, remote environment. Interns work on live matters, policy research and legal publications under the guidance of practising advocates.
About the Internship
The programme is focused on legal research and drafting, with an emphasis on producing quality work that contributes to ongoing cases, legal publications and the firm’s internal knowledge base. Assignments are matched to each intern and may draw on:
- Current legal matters being handled by the firm
- Ongoing policy and legal research projects
- Contributions to articles, papers and legal resources
- The specific legal interests and academic strengths of the candidate
This structure ensures a genuine alignment of interest between intern and firm, and a rewarding experience on both sides.
