Summer Clerkship Programme 2025/26

A summer of professional development, meaningful work, and intellectual challenge.
If you want to spend your summer gaining real experience, working with some of the best lawyers and mentors in the business, a McVeagh Fleming Summer Clerkship Programme 2025/2026 is for you.

Our programme provides students in their penultimate year of Law School with an exceptional opportunity to learn what it's like to be part of a client centric law firm. Over three months, McVeagh Fleming clerks are immersed in the dynamic range of legal issues within your preferred practice area. Clerks are exposed to a wide variety of learning and development opportunities achieved 'on the job', and will be able to attend client meetings, attend court and be involved in client transactions.

If you have; an enquiring mind, well-rounded technical skills, good energy levels and a genuine desire to grow and develop, then we want to hear from you. We pride ourselves in harnessing young talent and helping them to grow into the best lawyers they can be.
