About this programme
Explore the intersection between law and business. Develop the foundation of skills you need for a global legal career. You’ll do all this, and more, on our six-week spring and summer schools in our offices in Germany.
This isn’t just a chance to shadow our lawyers. You’ll play a real role in our teams and take on responsibility from day one. Whether attending court hearings, working with clients or developing your professional network, you’ll experience the cutting edge of the legal sector. You'll discover how law can unlock potential around the world and in your own career. That includes seeing how a purpose-led organisation makes a difference through pro bono work and sustainability commitments.
The programme provides you with the opportunity to discover if a career in an international law firm is the right fit for you. Familiarise yourself with your practice group and give your career the best platform to develop and enhance your skills.
