Summer 2024 internship/2026 traineeship — Aberdeen

4 weeks ago


Aberdeen City, United Kingdom Ledingham Chalmers LLP Full time

We have ambitious growth plans. And we’re looking for colleagues with the same mindset to join us.

All in all, it’s a great time to come on board.

We’re recruiting now for eight interns to work with us in Aberdeen this summer, up to four of whom will join us in 2026 as trainees.

Applications are open now and close on Sunday, 10 March. You’ll find all the application details at the end of this post.

Our track record

We’re known for punching above our weight.

With our headquarters in Aberdeen, but offices in Inverness, Edinburgh, and Stirling, we work with individuals, public sector organisations and businesses operating across a range of sectors that drive the national economy.

Our latest figures show our highest turnover since becoming a limited liability partnership (LLP) in 2006 and we’re consistently recognised in the Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 directories based on feedback from clients and peers.

Client contact and personal development

As a trainee and — ultimately — a qualified solicitor, you can take control of your career: exercising autonomy to progress and grow in an independent Scottish law firm where your contribution’s actively encouraged.

There are also plenty of opportunities for personal development through networking, social events, and firm-wide groups.

What do future and former trainees say about us?

Many former trainees are still working, and thriving, at our firm including Edinburgh partner Sarah Morris who tells us in this video why she chose the firm over 20 years ago.

Playing in picture-in-picture

Rather than just being left with a list of mundane tasks, qualified solicitors gave me meaningful work, allowing me to apply the skills I had developed… — Cameron Rout, legal executive

How does the three-week, paid internship work?

You’ll spend three weeks with us over the summer, most likely in our property, litigation, private client or corporate teams.

This will give you an insight into what it’s like working with Ledingham Chalmers (it’s just as important we’re the right fit for you as it is the other way round) including putting all the knowledge and skills you’ve learnt at university to great use in a supportive, inclusive, and flexible environment.

You’ll have the chance to get stuck into client work — many are high profile, fast-growing organisations — and you’ll have a mentor to work with who’ll show you the ropes.

These paid internships are based in Aberdeen and begin weeks commencing 1 July and 22 July.

Trainee recruitment process

The internships are an important part of our trainee recruitment process. We’ll choose our 2026 trainees from this intern intake.

Paid above the Law Society of Scotland rate, the 2026 trainees will spend six months in at least three different teams, working alongside our experts (and each another).

Internship/traineeship application requirements

You’ll have an LLB or LLB (Hons) in Scots Law and PEAT1/DipLP before the traineeship start date in 2026.

How to apply

Please upload your CV and a covering letter, explaining why Ledingham Chalmers is the firm for you. Please also submit a two-minute video through this portal, telling us who you’d love to invite to a dinner party and why. The video is an important part of the process — it helps us get to know you better, beyond your impressive academic achievements.
