Internships

The route to a traineeship at Ledingham Chalmers is a successful internship.

This is your chance to experience the variety of clients and different types of work we do; while showing us what you can bring to our firm.

During the internship, you will be allocated to one of our teams and you’ll work alongside our trainees and qualified legal staff, including partners.

You will be continuously assessed, and asked to take part in a final assessment day to capture your reflections on the experience.

We’ll shortly be recruiting for our 2027 trainee intake in Aberdeen and are currently assessing our trainee requirement across all of our offices, so watch this space. We’ll advertise here when we’re inviting applications for a 2025 internship.

As part of my seat in litigation, I had my own cases to manage from day one – a responsibility I never considered receiving so early into my legal career. — Georgia Shirreffs, solicitor, describing her trainee experience
