Subject to performance, successful interns may be offered a place on the firm’s graduate programme the following year.

What you’ll do

- A collaborative approach and enthusiasm for contributing to a team.
- Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel, PowerPoint and Word.
- Fluent English and the ability to communicate ideas clearly.
- Experience with Python or AI tools, such as Copilot, is beneficial but not essential.
