Work Experience Programme 

The Work Experience Programme allows you to immerse yourself in the workings of a law firm, familiarise yourself with various aspects of professional practice, and gain valuable experience working in a team of lawyers, helping you to choose the area in which you wish to build your career.

Programme description: a four-week introductory programme on a voluntary basis, designed for second- and third-year students.

Internship Programme

The Internship Programme gives you the opportunity to work in a real-world environment, gaining the practical skills and knowledge necessary for your future profession.

Programme description: designed for senior-year students, it is an individually agreed period of paid collaboration following an interview or prior completion of the Work Experience Programme. Previous relevant work experience would be an advantage.

Graduates

You have a law degree with an outstanding academic record, are fluent in business English and possibly even possess an LL.M. or post-doc. If this is the case, then endless opportunities are open to you at CMS.

Professional competence is a key requirement to being successful at our firm. However it is equally important to us that you can easily blend into our team.

Along with your passion for legal work, you should also aim to convince us with your personality, as well as your team working and entrepreneurial skills. In order to be a successful lawyer, it is also important that you communicate effectively, are diligent and conscientious in your work, whilst exhibiting a high level of resilience as well as being receptive to criticism.

Keep an eye on our Current Vacancies for details of when and how to apply for internships and other job opportunities.
