Government & Law Internship Program

We are extremely proud of our government and politics internship programs. It does not get better than placements in a National Government, think tanks, or political NGOs for talented graduates interested in this sector!

Our partnership with the Colombian government offers talented graduates the chance to intern in any sector of their interest and expertise including environmental policy, trade & finance, culture, education, public policy, public health, public works & transport policy, marginalized communities and human resources. In London & Madrid, we work with a selection of first-class think tanks & political NGOs including Chartwell Partners, Intelligence Squared and Access Info Europe.

Be it working on trade policy in Latin America with the Colombian government or conducting research for a leading political party in Madrid, we have a multitude of opportunities for our most talented participants. Our government and politics internships will equip you with all the necessary skills to prepare yourself for a future career. By working with professionals in our partner organizations you will take your knowledge far beyond the classroom and learn an immeasurable amount from all the fantastic opportunities that they offer.

We also offer opportunities with top law firms all around the world. Our internships are ideal for those thinking about law school, those in law school, and graduates of law school. We offer first-class, hands-on legal internships in legal firms, Fortune 500 companies, and in NGOs. As a legal intern, you will support and learn from top industry professionals with work that includes going to client meetings, case management and legal research. Our partner companies will prepare you with important skills that will set you apart from others. In our Madrid program, we are proud to place interns at Grant Thornton to focus on corporate law. In Colombia, we offer opportunities to work directly in the government and congress, and in our Hong Kong program we have previously placed interns in a legal and compliance company, Red Flag.
