As part of our international activities, we select foreign candidates to participate in our annual internship program and get the first-hand practical experience of working in a Brazilian law firm while learning about our legal system.
Our program has been running for many years and is considered one of the better-established internship programs in Latin America by leading legal publication Latin Lawyer.
