The three-week programme is designed for Isle of Man students with an interest in pursuing a legal career and provides valuable insight into life at a leading global law firm. Joining this year’s programme are university students Ify Anaziah, Denitsa Petrova, Hudson Sayle and Holly-Louise Talbot.
During their internship, students will gain hands-on experience across a range of legal and business support functions. They will rotate weekly through different departments, working alongside Appleby’s top-tier lawyers in Corporate and Dispute Resolution, as well as experienced colleagues in Compliance, IT and Marketing. Interns will be involved in a range of activities, including legal research, a moot trial, a local CSR initiative and a comprehensive programme of online and in-person training. Topics will include drafting court documents as well as diversity, inclusion and belonging.
The programme offers a unique opportunity for students to expand their professional networks, enhance their workplace skills and gain a greater appreciation of the diverse roles that contribute to the success of a law firm.
Claire Milne, Partner at Appleby and lead partner of the programme, said: “We were incredibly impressed by the calibre of applications we received for this year’s programme, with the standard of applicants being exceptionally high. We are delighted to welcome Ify, Denitsa, Hudson and Holly-Louise to Appleby and look forward to supporting them as they gain valuable experience across the firm. As a firm, we are committed to supporting the next generation of legal professionals in the Isle of Man, and we hope the programme provides a rewarding introduction to the legal profession and a valuable foundation for their future careers.”
