About this role

Join the frontier of international arbitration — Paris


Some disputes cross borders. The best careers do too.

@Pinsent Masons Paris is opening the doors of its International Arbitration team — commercial and investor-state — for a 6-month internship starting January 2027. Think high-stakes cross-border cases, multilingual advocacy, and a seat at the table on some of the region’s most complex disputes.

What you’ll actually do: 

🌍 Dive into legal research shaping live arbitral strategy 

⚖️ Help build the case — from analysis to submissions 

✍️ Draft memoranda, opinions, and procedural filings in French and English 

🎤 Sit in on hearing prep, client meetings, and international conferences 

📰 Stay ahead of the curve on international arbitration developments

You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with associates and partners on live matters for international clients, embedded in the day-to-day of a fast-growing, globally minded practice. 

Who we’re looking for: 

  • Law graduate students (LL.M. IEJ, or Bar School) with a genuine pull toward international arbitration.
  • Sharp researchers and confident drafters.
  • Fluent in English and French, written and spoken. 
  • Curious, rigorous, and ready to contribute from day one.
