The Brussels Office offers summer internships to law students in their third or fourth year. We accept applications from all over Europe. We also welcome interns all year round for a flexible duration (in particular for the applicant waiting to begin or who just completed the stage at the European Commission). Interns join the practice of their choice, which consists of either European competition or trade law or the whole gamut of Belgian law (including M&A, litigation, tax, and labor law). Depending on their experience, interns conduct research, work on legal audits, write memoranda, and draft contracts and opinions under the guidance of experienced lawyers.
