How to apply

We are committed to expanding the firm's US capability and we plan to become the premier US corporate finance practice in London.

We have invested heavily to build our team, and we intend to continue doing the same as we focus our attention on developing our junior associates and our summer associate program.

Application to the Herbert Smith summer associate program is via on-campus interviews – please see the interview dates below for when we will be interviewing at select law schools.


Each August

Columbia Law School
Harvard Law School
New York University School of Law
Stanford Law School
Yale Law School

If we are not visiting your school this fall, we still encourage all highly-qualified second year law students to apply. For those candidates not interviewed on campus, all initial interviews will be held in New York
