Simmons & Simmons - Dublin Summer Internship

Start to get under the surface of what it’s like to be a trainee lawyer, with our paid summer internship. You’ll learn more about our firm, so you can work out how you fit into our world, and how we fit into yours.

This four-week experience will give you a deeper understanding of our world, and you’ll leave feeling part of our team. With a trainee buddy and a supervising partner or associate on hand, you’ll be a part of working life at the firm. You’ll attend social events, do vital research and drafting work, and even meet with clients. It’s a packed schedule, including experience across two different departments, but by the end, you’ll have a strong sense of whether we’re right for you – and you for us.

We are recruiting for trainees to join our trainee programmes from May 2028. To secure a training contract you must complete a summer internship with us.

The scheme will take place from 15 June - 10 July 2026 and pay per week is €525.

Open to penultimate-year and final-year students and graduates of all degree disciplines.

Applications open from 15 October – 15 December 2025.
