The City Law School has agreed a range of international commercial law internships for students on its Master of Laws (LLM) programmes.

The school has renewed an international commercial law internship with US firm Sidley Austin for the fifth year running. The successful candidate will spend three months in the firm’s Brussels office and receive a €5,000 scholarship.

The school has again agreed, after a successful inaugural year, an antitrust and recovery programme with US firm Crowell & Moring. The internship carries a £5,000 scholarship and will take place in the firm’s London office during 2011.

An international shipping law internship has also been renewed with maritime, trade and finance City firm Thomas Cooper. It is scheduled to run from May to July 2011.

These follow similar internship agreements with other major practices, including US firm K&L Gates in Paris.

City Law School LLM programme director professor Alan Riley said: ‘These internships will enable our students to blend the knowledge they develop on our international commercial law programme with top-flight practical experience.’

City Law School dean professor Susan Nash said: ‘We welcome the opportunity to work with some of the top-ranked global commercial law firms.’
