An opportunity to be a part of S&S's Black Undergraduate Internship & Lawyer Development Programme, commencing in July 2024.

Overview:
  • B.U.I.L.D. @ Shearman is a programme that will provide work experience and mentoring opportunities for talented students (university level and above) from the Black community.
  • The Programme will provide students with a four-week internship in Shearman & Sterling’s London office and connect each student with supervisors and mentors who will provide guidance during their time at the Firm, as well as ongoing mentoring following completion of the internship.
  • Interns will spend a two-week rotation in two different practice groups in the London office (four weeks total) including the Antitrust, Finance, Funds, International Arbitration, M&A and Project Development & Finance Practice Groups.
  • Interns will have the opportunity to attend trainee and Practice Group training sessions and specific Intern training sessions on relevant topics such as commercial awareness and the graduate recruitment process.
  • High-performing Interns will be fast-tracked and guaranteed an interview for a subsequent vacation scheme of the interns’ choice. Participants in our vacation schemes are automatically considered and assessed for a training contract with the Firm.
Eligibility and application details:
  • The programme is open to black undergraduate students and graduates from all backgrounds.
  • They require all candidates to achieve a min. 2.1 degree classification (gained or predicted).
  • The recruitment process will involve completion of an online application form. Successful applicants will then be invited to an online Zoom interview with a member of the graduate recruitment team and an associate.
  • This is a paid internship. Interns will receive £500/week.
  • The programme will run from 9 July – 2 August 2024.
Apply here by May 12th 2024.
