Law Internship in India

We have partnered with several law firms who work with both public and private companies in a range of sectors including telecom, pharmaceuticals, IT and biotech. They typically advise clients in a range of areas including:

• International joint ventures
• Mergers & acquisition
• Shareholders' rights
• Copyright and intellectual property rights

As an intern you will gain exposure to both the work your team are undertaking, and their clients, to ensure your experience is well rounded and gives you relevant work experience that will enhance your CV in preparation for a career in the legal profession. The placement is conducted in English and our supervisors are English speaking so no knowledge of other languages is necessary.

Throughout your programme you will have a mentor, someone who works in the company and is responsible for ensuring your development goals are achieved and that your placement goes smoothly. In addition you will have the support and guidance of our team who will oversee your placement and be on hand should you have any questions or need advice.

When you apply we will ask for a copy of your CV or Resume. Our staff will then contact you to discuss your which area of Law you would like to specialise. The type of placement can then be tailored to suit your preferences and the experience you are looking to gain.
 

Mumbai

Formerly known as Bombay, Mumbai is one of the most happening cities in India. It is often referred to as the Las Vegas of India and is known as much for its outstanding and flamboyant night life as it is famous for being the most thriving and economically prosperous city of India. Mumbai is a busy metropolis, popular with tourists and expats from around the world, due in part to its energy and character, but because it’s the commercial capital of India, the city is home to some of India's largest companies.

Mumbai is politically one of the most important cities in western India. It also has its own culture, traditions and festivals. The people in this part of the country speak Maratha but like a true cosmopolitan city, Mumbai is a fine melting pot where you will find people from different parts of India living in harmony in spite of the difference in language, dress codes and food habits. English is understood and spoken by a most people, particularly in business so communication will be easy during your placement.
 

Bangalore

Bustling Bangalore is a symbol of the new India. East meets West and nature nestles around man-made glitz in this temperate gem of a city. It is simultaneously known as ‘The Silicon Valley’, ‘Garden Paradise’ and ‘Pub Capital’ of India. So which one is correct? Well, all of them.
Home to international companies like Microsoft and Google, Bangalore carries all the benefits associated with being a home of the blue-chip elite. Sleek shopping centres, like the swish UB City, and world-class (but affordable) cuisine are staples of the city.

Cool bars abound, where locals, young professionals and international business people alike unwind with a cold glass of Kingfisher at the end of the day.And yet the number of beautiful parks and gardens is amazing. They offer the perfect escape route inside and outside the city.

Move a little further beyond the outskirts and you will also find the spectacular Shivasamudram Falls.

As with any adventure in life,we believe that your internship experience will not be dictated simply by what you do, but by the people you share it with. As well as offering special deals for those of you who want to travel with friends from home, we arrange a number of opportunities for you to meet new people throughout your placement:

On arrival in India, you will attend an orientation event, where you will receive an introduction to the local area and culture, along with the chance to meet other students starting their experience in the same place.
At this orientation, you will be given a free Indian sim card so you can swap numbers and keep in touch with the people you meet.

We do our best to make sure that you travel and stay with, or near, other people on our programmes, so you immediately have a social network with whom you can explore and enjoy your new surroundings.
We organise group meals and nights out throughout the course of the programme, attended by students at the start, middle and end of their placements.

We have tapped into our local networks to organise great discounts at some of the top bars and restaurants in all our locations, giving you the perfect platform to hit the best spots in town with your new friends
We host UK-based alumni events that give you a chance to catch up with familiar faces from past programmes.
