Ashurst Legal Intern for Competition/EU Law Practice

Ashurst is a leading international law firm advising corporates, financial institutions and governments, with core businesses in corporate, finance, energy, resources and infrastructure. In March 2012, Ashurst and Blake Dawson combined forces to form one global team under the Ashurst brand. We now have 24 offices in 14 countries as well as an associated office in Jakarta, and a best-friend referral relationship with an Indian law firm. With over 400 partners and 1,700 lawyers in total, we offer the international insight of a global network combined with local market knowledge.

We are currently looking for an English-speaking legal intern for our competition and EU law practice in the Brussels office.

Who we are looking for

Firstly, you will need to be a law graduate - preferably in EU or competition law. You will also need to be absolutely driven to succeed. There will be late nights where you will be in the office, facing tight deadlines and real pressure to perform, so you need to be totally committed to delivering for your clients, and for the firm as a whole. After that, we look for everything you would expect to see in us: common sense, discipline, professionalism, good judgement, dextrous thinking, creative ideas, an intelligent, international, commercial perspective - and the confidence to express yourself on paper, within teams and to your peers. Ideally, you will have English as your mother tongue.

What we offer

We are offering a six-month paid internship, and for outstanding performers there is a real possibility of development within the firm.

If your strengths match those we are looking for, please send your CV and a covering letter to mireille.kratzborn@ashurst.com.
