Your role
Interested in doing legal work in finance, but not sure where to start? Do you want to see how legal advice shapes business decisions at one of the world’s leading financial institutions?
We're looking for ambitious students to join our 2027 Internship Program within our Group Legal function in London.

- conduct legal research and support the preparation of legal notes, briefings and contractual documentation for business stakeholders
- support legal professionals in advising business and support functions on practical, business-focused legal questions
- contribute to regulatory implementation, digital transformation and cross-functional projects
- collaborate with stakeholders across the business, working in risk, compliance and other corporate functions

We provide high-quality legal advice to internal clients across the bank and support strategic, regulatory and technology-driven initiatives. We work closely with our business partners to help navigate complex UK and international legal and regulatory environments, managing legal risk to enable sustainable business growth. Unlike a traditional legal internship, this role provides insight into how legal advice is embedded in day-to-day business decisions within a global financial institution.

We’re looking for someone who’s curious and wants to thrive in a business that never stops moving. It’sI important to have an interest in the financial services industry. We want to see what makes you unique and discover what you can bring to our team. Perhaps you’ve organised a fundraising event, taken part in team sports or stepped out of your comfort zone to learn about a subject you found challenging. Let us know how your achievements match the skills we’re looking for.
Your program
This paid internship will start in 2027 and last three months. You’ll work with our experts and learn about the industry, our clients and our firm. You’ll be right at the heart of our in-house legal function, learning from your colleagues and taking part in day-to-day operations. You'll be supported by mentors along the way and will have the chance to get to know some of the most senior members of our teams.
You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and make contacts along the way. If you like challenges, enjoy learning and want to work where no two days are the same, this program is for you.
