Summer Intern Programme

Summer Intern Programme

The Dillon Eustace Summer Intern Programme is an excellent opportunity for you to experience first-hand the work of a solicitor and the legal work practiced by a leading international corporate law firm

It will allow you to get a real understanding of the culture and working environment at Dillon Eustace and if we are the right firm for you. The aim of our Summer Intern Programme is to help you experience a real live corporate law firm and help you to make a decision on your future speciality, while helping us to identify suitable candidates for our future Trainee Programme.

Our Summer Intern Programme is focussed on selecting a small number of Interns who will each be assigned to a practice area for 4 weeks. In this way we can give our Interns an individual experience supported by our expert solicitors in the relevant practice area. You will be involved in working with solicitors on real-life cases, including conducting research and writing reports, as well as attending court sessions and/ or client meetings. You will also get the opportunity to attend our ongoing Continuous Professional Development (CPD) sessions scheduled during your time with us and department meetings.

Those who participate on the Summer Intern Programme will have the opportunity to be considered for a place on our future Trainee Programmes.

As well as support from our HR Team, each Intern will be assigned a Mentor (one of our senior Solicitors) and a Buddy (one of our Trainees). They will provide you with any support you need during the programme as well as insight into working at Dillon Eustace.

Dillon Eustace’s Summer Intern Programme was a fantastic insight into the true day to day life of a DE employee. I felt so welcomed from day one as an intern and this unique culture is what drew me back to the Firm to continue as a trainee.
