Simmons & Simmons Launches First AI Law Internship

Simmons & Simmons has launched its first dedicated AI law internship, placing eight students in London for two weeks.

International law firm Simmons & Simmons welcomed eight students on 13 April 2026 to its first dedicated AI law internship programme in London. The two-week programme runs until 24 April and places students within the firm's AI team to work on AI law, governance, and legal service transformation projects. The firm opened the programme to penultimate and final year undergraduates, postgraduates, and recent graduates.

This programme marks a shift in how law firms are approaching talent development. As AI becomes central to legal practice, firms are now building structured pathways for professionals who understand both law and technology.

Programme Structure

The internship runs from 13 to 24 April 2026 at the firm's London office. Eight students are taking part in the first cohort.

Students work in both tech-focused and legal AI roles during the two-week period. The programme is designed to build technical and legal skills at the same time.
