A paid internship programme for postgraduate law students has been launched by self-employed lawyers’ group nexa law and Queen Mary University of London

A team of students from the University’s Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) will support nexa’s lawyers on a rolling two-month basis throughout the year.

Daniel Jenkins, nexa innovation manager, said: ‘There is a perception that consultant lawyer models like ours are designed for retiring law firm partners but we are determined that the nexa brand and concept will attract younger talent and with over 50 applications for our first cohort of interns we must be doing something right.’
