Internships

The route to a traineeship at Ledingham Chalmers is a successful internship.

This is your chance to experience the variety of clients and different types of work we do; while showing us what you can bring to our firm.

During the internship, you will be allocated to one of our teams and you’ll work alongside our trainees and qualified legal staff, including partners.

You will be continuously assessed, and asked to take part in a final assessment day to capture your reflections on the experience.

Applications for our summer 2026 internship/2028 traineeship programme will go live on 1 November 2025. Find out more about our programme and book your space for our upcoming applicants event here.
