Google EMEA Legal Summer Institute (LSI) Internship Program 2026

The EMEA Legal Summer Institute (LSI) is a unique experience where law school students spend time interning with one of our partner law firms and gain experience of what it is like to work in private practice.

During their internship, students will spend a week at Google (remotely and/or in-person depending on the location) attending presentations and career development workshops, building their network and gaining insights into life as an in-house lawyer at a global technology company. 

There will also be an opportunity for LSI students to participate in a six month mentorship scheme and be mentored by a Google lawyer. LSI aims to improve access to in-house careers at tech companies by expanding opportunities in the legal industry.

We consider students who are attending (or have attended) law schools in EMEA. Students who have limited or no work experience in the legal profession are especially encouraged to apply.

Aim and Benefits of Google EMEA Legal Summer Institute (LSI) Internship Program

• Law Firm Participation

LSI is a paid opportunity and all participating partner firms are deeply committed to making this experience for LSI students as similar as their other internship schemes.

There are no specific requirements regarding students’ law firm work assignments, however we recommend that assignments provide a good balance of quality and quantity and contain substance and variety.

Office placement location will be at the discretion of the law firm and the student.

• Mentorship

LSI offers access to an optional six-month mentorship program which connects LSI students with a mentor who will be a more experienced Google lawyer or legal professional. The mentor is an unbiased resource, untied to the student’s work, who will aid in the student’s personal and professional development by sharing their advice and guidance on a confidential 1:1 basis with the mentee.

• Exposure

The LSI team facilitates candid conversations with top legal leaders throughout their week at Google. Past speakers include Yoram Elkaïm, International Legal Lead, various members of the EMEA Legal and Regulatory Affairs team (including Head of Regions, Privacy, Competition, Copyright) and the broader global and policy teams.
