Looking to develop your legal skills and gain practical work experience? Look no further than our summer internship programme!   During the summer in our Edinburgh office, you’ll be given the chance to learn from our experienced solicitors and gain first-hand experience in one of our specialist teams.   Laura Kirkman started her legal career journey through a summer internship with GM. Laura has since completed a two-year legal traineeship with our firm and is now a Qualified Solicitor in the corporate team.   “During my summer internship, I was based in the energy team. Spending my placement in one team gave me a great insight into the range of energy work provided and offered me the opportunity to get involved in live client work. I was impressed by the level of responsibility and support I was given to interact with clients. From day one, I was very much made to feel part of the team.”   Below are some tips to support your Summer Internship application before our 10th January deadline. https://bit.ly/3ZuvqlV   #CareerInLaw #TraineeLawyer #SummerInternship #LegalStudents
