Complete our psychometric assessment between Wednesday, 24 April and midnight Sunday 28 April 2024.
There's absolutely no Ashurst "type". We want to actively involve a broad range of minds with a broad range of backgrounds, all united by a common set of strengths. These strengths include a passion for Ashurst, outstanding communication skills, analytical ability, commercial awareness, teamwork and resilience.
Interviews will take place from Thursday 2 May 2024.
Receive an offer to Intern with Ashurst for 4 weeks - 17 June to 12 July 2024.
The aim of our Internship is to expose you to as much real work as possible, to help you to make an informed decision about whether the Ashurst 2025 IT Graduate Program is the right opportunity for you. Offers for the 2025 Graduate program will be made at the end of the internship.
But it's not all work! There's also a chance to get involved in understanding the different areas of IT and Legal practices through workshops, team-building events to understand how we work together, and social events to get to know our teams away from the bustle of daily life.
The internship program will run from Monday, 17 June through to Friday, 12 July on a fixed term, full time basis. In addition to gaining valuable experience, working as an Intern presents an opportunity for you to join our Graduate Program. We offer most of our graduate roles to people who have completed an internship in one of our offices.

Pros and cons of working at Ashurst
Pros
Investment in graduates who are early on in their careers is fantastic. Partners and senior lawyers are largely willing to mentor and take the time to give graduates opportunities to truly experience what their practice is like.
Being a part of a very supportive work environment, where I feel part of a team and valued as an employee.
Graduate culture and team environment surpasses other top tier firms with the opportunity to get involved with clients from the very beginning.
Strong remuneration Strong culture of junior support and continued learning. The firm puts a lot of time and resources into preparing academies and seminars to ensure graduates are informed and educated on their areas outside of just knowing how to perform the tasks.
The people are wonderful, and the work is of a very high quality. The international aspect is wonderful as it gives you exposure to numerous practice areas and people, as well as plenty of opportunities to work abroad.
Cons
Some of the technology used by the firm is outdated and needs to be modernised
Being an international firm means that sometimes general decisions are made that do not provide the best outcomes locally.
The hours can fluctuate but this is usually market driven.
Hours can sometimes be long, but rarely have they been unreasonable.
Due to the nature of working at a top-tier, high-performing law firm, the hours can be quite long and taxing as well as the balance of life and work commitments.
