2027 - Off-Cycle Internship - Group Legal - London

Legal Internship Program (Group Legal) — London (2027)

Interested in legal work in finance, but not sure where to start? Join our 2027 Internship Program within the Group Legal function in London and see how legal advice shapes business decisions at one of the world’s leading financial institutions.

What You’ll Do

• Gain first-hand insight into how an in-house legal team supports internal clients, manages legal risk, and contributes to strategic initiatives, including the responsible use of technology and AI in legal work.
• Assist in analysing legal matters across a range of practice areas, including UK financial services regulation, commercial contracts, technology, and corporate governance.
• 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, including risk, compliance, and other corporate functions.

Your Team

You will work within the Group Legal function in London, providing high-quality legal advice to internal clients across the bank and supporting strategic, regulatory, and technology-driven initiatives.

Working closely with business partners, you will help navigate complex UK and international legal and regulatory environments while 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.

Your Expertise

We’re looking for a curious and motivated candidate with a strong interest in law, business, and the financial services industry who:

• Is studying towards, or has recently completed, an undergraduate law degree or an equivalent qualification.
• Is on track for, or has achieved, at least a 2:1 degree or equivalent.
• Is hard-working, trustworthy, dedicated, and collaborative.
• Has strong communication skills and a strategic mindset.
• Is motivated to work in a business with high demands and tight deadlines.
• Can demonstrate how experimental and responsible use of AI can improve outcomes and efficiency.
• Has excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a precise, structured, detail-oriented working style.
• Has excellent written and spoken English.

We also want to learn what makes you unique. Share how your achievements reflect the skills we’re looking for—for example, through organising a fundraising event, taking part in team sports, or stepping out of your comfort zone to learn a challenging subject.
