Profile Investment’s Legal Writing Award (PILWA) was developed to give law students from all backgrounds access to essential intern experience in a highly competitive market. Interns work closely within our Team and gain real experience conducting research, writing proposals and assisting in case analysis. We expect interns to have strong problem solving skills and the ability to convey the results of their efforts in writing clearly and concisely – essential skills for any budding young lawyer. In addition our interns will have first hand experience of working with Partners at leading law firms in International Arbitration, often an essential first step in gaining further and better experience for their CV.

We don’t recruit only from “elite” universities and we do not agree that strong grades are the only indicator of a good work ethic. Instead, we focus on an applicants’ writing skills, deductive reasoning and enthusiasm that they can demonstrate through their written submissions and interviews. Applications from all levels, backgrounds and experiences are accepted.

We will announce the next opening date for submissions on Linkedin and on our website in due course. Financial prizes are offered for those that secure first and second place, with the top  applicant being offered 6 month internships.
