If you want to enrich and expand your worldview, grow your skills and influence new ways of thinking, all within a global law firm, we'd like to hear from you!

Your opportunity:

Most of our graduate roles are offered to people who complete an internship with us. We are recruiting for Interns to join our Sydney and Brisbane offices. We hold internships to give you an intensive experience of our culture and the kind of work we do. The role will give you great exposure to high quality commercial IT work and provide you the opportunity to apply and develop your skills across a broad range of IT areas. Our internship programme includes activities and events designed for you to get to know us as a firm and find out if a career at Ashurst is what you are looking for. It includes a comprehensive induction programme, events to understand each legal practice area and activities to ensure you build connections and relationships with other IT Interns and Law Clerks across the firm.

The IT Internship will run for four weeks, commencing Monday, 20 November 2023. As an IT Intern you will rotate through one team during your internship and you'll be given real work in areas like:

• Cybersecurity
• Data
• Business Analysis
• IT engineering

Shortly after the conclusion of the four week internship, we intend to extend offers to successful candidates for our 2024 IT Graduate Programmes.
