Dubai internship programme

As an intern in a small practice, responsibility comes early. Your role as a junior member of the firm will be to assist with all aspects of the department’s caseload, helping turn our clients’ challenges into opportunities.  

An internship in our dispute resolution team gives you the chance to work alongside experienced lawyers in a wide range of cross-border work. This includes complex, challenging and interesting projects and risk-management issues, and disputes at the forefront of the market.  

The increased wealth and dynamism of Middle Eastern economies over the last decade has spurred a significant expansion in international investment and trade involving countries in the region. This has led to a dramatic increase in the number of cross-border risks and disputes involving the Middle East. It’s our job to help clients stay ahead in this fast-moving environment, balancing profit with people and planet.  

Interns are supervised by senior members of our team. Because we work in a small office, you will have daily contact with all our people, from newly qualified lawyers through to senior partners. This is crucial to our culture, which shapes us into a driving force.

Gain practical knowledge and experience in a dynamic, inclusive and professional environment.
