Offshore law firm Appleby is providing internship opportunities to eight Bermudian students throughout the summer.

The firm welcomed students across various departments including, corporate, private client & trusts, dispute resolution and marketing.

The students have had the opportunity to work alongside mentors and gain valuable experience and insight into the dynamic legal profession. Internship duration lengths have ranged from two to 16 weeks.

An Appleby statement said: “The firm is proud to contribute to the development of Bermudian students at various stepping stones in their career path, whether at commencement through work shadowing, or in the developing stages through summer internships.

“We also have a thriving legal trainee program once students have completed their legal studies.”

Tim Faries, Bermuda managing partner said, “Appleby is pleased to have summer interns who are interested in pursuing careers within the legal profession.

“As a firm, we have a long history of commitment to developing the next generation of lawyers for Bermuda and our expanding practice groups and specialisations.

“We are excited to watch and support these young adults as they continue with their studies and embark on their careers.”
