Application Deadline: June 8, 2025
Applications are now open for the 2025 Google’s EMEA Legal Summer Institute. The EMEA Legal Summer Institute (LSI) is a unique experience where law school students spend time interning with one of Google’s partner law firms and gain experience of what it is like to work in private practice. During their internship, students will spend a week at Google (remotely and/or in-person depending on the location) attending presentations and career development workshops, building their network and gaining insights into life as an in-house lawyer at a global technology company. There will also be an opportunity for LSI students to participate in a six month mentorship scheme and be mentored by a Google lawyer. LSI aims to improve access to in-house careers at tech companies by expanding opportunities in the legal industry.
The Google week of the EMEA Legal Summer Institute will take place from 8 to 12 September 2025. The dates for the week(s) at our partner law firms will vary across EMEA depending on the law firm.
