Deadline: June 8, 2025
Applications are open for the Google EMEA Legal Summer Institute (LSI) 2025. 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 partner law firms will vary across EMEA depending on the law firm.
Benefits
- LSI is a paid opportunity and all participating partner firms are deeply committed to making this experience for LSI students as similar as their other internship schemes.
- LSI offers access to an optional six-month mentorship program which connects LSI students with a mentor who will be a more experienced Google lawyer or legal professional. The mentor is an unbiased resource, untied to the student’s work, who will aid in the student’s personal and professional development by sharing their advice and guidance on a confidential 1:1 basis with the mentee.
- The LSI team facilitates candid conversations with top legal leaders throughout their week at Google. Past speakers include Yoram Elkaïm, International Legal Lead, various members of the EMEA Legal and Regulatory Affairs team (including Head of Regions, Privacy, Competition, Copyright) and the broader global and policy teams.
Eligibility
To apply and participate, students must:
- Have work authorization in the country of internship.
- Be a law student who would like to or is considering entering the legal profession.
- Demonstrate academic excellence.
- Provide a resume.
- Be comfortable working in the English language as the Google week will be held in English.
