Your career, taking shape
Summer Intern Programme 2027
Our Summer Intern Programme is designed for students who are keen to develop their legal skills, work collaboratively and gain practical experience. During the programme, you will work on real client matters, receive training and support from experienced colleagues, and gain first-hand insight into life at Arthur Cox. The programme is fully paid and includes access to our on-site facilities (restaurant, barista bar and a state‑of‑the‑art gym), firm events and social activities. Accommodation is provided for interns based outside Dublin. It also serves as an important pathway to our Trainee Programme, with many of our trainees beginning their careers as summer interns.
Applications will open 31 August 2026.
