About Turcan Connell
We're Scotland's leading independent law firm that acts for individuals. We are trusted by esteemed entrepreneurs, families, landowners, business owners and philanthropists through the decisions that define their lives. Succession and estate planning, wealth protection, family law, high-value property and philanthropy. Complex, high-stakes work that demands technical excellence alongside instinct, empathy and care.
Our relationships run deep. Many span years, decades, generations within families.
Around 270 people work here across Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. Everyone is known, valued and genuinely supported. Partners are accessible. Knowledge is shared openly. Standards are held collectively and raised together.
Most of our partners started here as trainees. That's not a coincidence, it's our culture. If you're ambitious, empathetic and uncompromisingly professional, you'll feel at home here.
Opportunity
Please note successful candidates will be invited to attend an interview for our 2027 Summer Internships, which will take place on Tuesday 26th January 2027. Applications close at 12pm on Thursday 7th January 2027. Our 2027 Summer Internships is a six-week programme which will run between Monday 28th June to Friday 6th August 2027.
Successful applicants will be in their 3rd year or above of their Scottish Law Degree and on track for a minimum upper second or above or a current accelerated ordinary LLB Scots law student who has already obtained an upper second or above in their first degree. Our internships provide real, hands-on work experience with a chance to develop skills in a fast-paced and friendly environment. We offer a select number of summer internships to students who have an interest in our fields of expertise. Internships are normally aimed at third year honours students or those studying the accelerated LLB at a Scottish university.
Following a firm-wide induction, interns are allocated to specific teams within Land & Property and Tax & Succession.
