Furas Internship - Dubai [UAE Nationals only]

About this programme

A first-of-its-kind opportunity for UAE Nationals to experience life at the heart of a global law firm. Work in one of our world-leading Dubai practice groups or business services teams for 12 months.

Furas Internship

Explore the intersection between law and business. Find out how an international law firm makes an impact in the UAE and across the world. Develop the foundation of skills you need for a global legal career. You will do all this and more during your 12-month internship in our Dubai office.

You will play an active role in our teams and take on responsibility from day one. Experience the cutting edge of the legal sector and discover how law can unlock potential across the world and in your own career. See how our purpose-led organisation makes a difference beyond our day-to-day work through programmes like our pro bono work and sustainability commitments.

You may be an aspiring lawyer wanting to join one of our practice groups. In these teams, you will attend court hearings, work with clients and develop your professional network.

Or, you may be an aspiring business professional. You will join a forward-looking, friendly team to develop knowledge and a range of skills curated to your own strengths. These teams include marketing and business development, legal project management, finance, knowledge and security operations.

The internship is your chance to see if law is a career you can thrive in. You will also develop your personal and professional skillset through experiences that will be valued in any sector you choose to continue into. We will offer a select number of candidates a permanent role when they finish their internship. You will choose your preferred practice groups and business services teams when you apply and we will try to assign you to one of them for the programme.
