Apply

All candidates must be able to demonstrate a consistently impressive record of academic achievements. In particular, we look for strong grades and proficiency in English. Candidates for our legal internship and summer internship opportunities should have obtained or be studying towards their LL.M.

Although being academically strong is important, we also wish for candidates to be sharp, articulate, and quick thinking. We value candidates with confidence, dedication, and team spirit, and who have an open mind and an innovative approach towards complex legal questions. Moreover, we seek candidates who share our values of excellence and collegiality and who are keen on working in a broad range of practice areas and business sectors.

Collegiality

Students often remark on how friendly and down to earth the people at Covington are. We are proud that Covington is a place where you can bring your ‘whole self’ to work and work alongside passionate, like-minded peers.

Responsibility

Trainees gain exposure to complex problems, early in their career. Trainees are relied upon as valued team members and contribute to client work from their first seat.

Open door policy

It’s part of our culture that everyone’s voice is heard. If you have an idea of question you can walk into anyone’s office and voice it. If your idea is a good one, you will have the support to run with it.

Meaningful work

Our people are passionate about what they do, which makes them great people to learn from. You are able to gain exposure to areas of law that you are enthusiastic about.

Applications for our summer internships or legal internships are made via our online portal.
