Applications for our 2016 Summer Internships are now open!

To apply please complete our application form and our equal opportunities form and then submit them both by email to [email protected].

Our Applications process will close 8 January 2016 at 5pm for all locations and applications received after that time will not be considered.  We receive a large number of applications each year and early application is therefore encouraged.

We offer students an exciting opportunity to gain an insight into what it is like to be a trainee at MMS and to gain practical hands on experience within a leading commercial law firm.

The internships are for a period of 3 weeks and take place between July and August each year. 

In Scotland you will be placed in one of our 12 practice areas in Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen.  We will take into account which office location you prefer.

In London you will be placed in one of our 9 practice areas at our One London Wall office.
