Opportunities for students

At Anderson Lloyd, our Summer Clerks are a vital part of our team, and many go on to launch their legal careers with us as Law Clerks. We seek driven and talented students, typically in their penultimate or final year, who want to make the most of their summer experience. You’ll gain hands-on experience, work with top clients, and have fun along the way!

Anderson Lloyd at a glance:

  • We hire between 12-16 Summer Clerks across our four offices, ensuring each clerk gets the attention and opportunities they deserve.
  • Applications open in March, with offers made in May. Our two-day induction in November sets you up for success.
  • We offer two rotations (pre- and post-Christmas), but we’re flexible some of our clerks stay in their original teams, based on their interests.
