Successful applicants will typically be junior qualified lawyers or recent LLM graduates who are looking to develop their skills in the field of international arbitration. The program is highly competitive and preference will be given to those individuals who have either acquired some level of experience in international arbitration or can clearly demonstrate a passion for, and determination to work in, this field. Language skills are desirable.
Interns – The Three Crowns Paris office offers internship opportunities to exceptional junior qualified lawyers or recent LLM graduates on fixed term contracts of six months. As with the London program, successful candidates are likely to have demonstrated their passion for international arbitration through their work experience and academic achievements.
Stagiaires – Additionally, the Paris office welcomes applications from talented law students requiring internships – stages – as part of their university, business school, or bar placement. Our stagiaires will be offered high-quality work experience and will be integral to the team. They will work closely with both associates and partners and be provided with the opportunities and encouragement needed to develop their skills in the area of international arbitration.
International Associate Program — The Washington, DC office also invites applications from current LLM students or recent graduates of US law schools who have qualified to practice in a jurisdiction outside of the US. Opportunities are available to exceptionally talented international lawyers to gain high-quality international arbitration work experience for up to 12 months immediately following their LLM studies. Candidates must be eligible to work in the US immediately following completion of their studies.
