A six week paid commercial property internship has gained the support of several City firms including Mishcon de Reya, Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP), Nabarro, and Herbert Smith Freehills.
Graduates are to be given the opportunity to take part in a six week paid commercial property internship, which has gained the support of several City firms including Mishcon de Reya, Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP), Nabarro, and Herbert Smith Freehills. During the internship graduates will spend time at a commercial property consultancy and a real estate investment trust or developer. They will also be given two weeks experience at a City firm in their commercial property department.
The internship was designed in conjunction with Sociable Surveyors, a non-profit organisation.
The internship aims to give those aspiring to a commercial property career an understanding of both the legal and commercial aspects of the industry.
Juliet Thomas, real estate partner at BLP, said: “We think it’s great that young surveyors and young lawyers have an opportunity to understand each other’s industries from the outset of their careers.”
Nabarro real estate partner Clare Thomas added: “Giving young people the opportunity to experience work at British Land, Savills and Nabarro provides them an unparalleled insight into what life is really like within the UK real estate sector. It also emphasises the importance of the different professions working together and forging strong relationships. This type of scheme is vital if we are to win and retain top talent for the industry.”
Other firms taking part in the summer’s programme, beginning this June, include Ashford Solicitors and Howard Kennedy FSI (HKFsi). HKFsi is offering the internship to two graduates and has joined with the Berkeley Group, CBRE and Capita Symonds for work experience opportunities.
