• Help build the case — from analysis to submissions
• Draft memoranda, opinions, and procedural filings in French and English
• Sit in on hearing prep, client meetings, and international conferences
• Stay ahead of the curve on international arbitration developments

You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with associates and partners on live matters for international clients, embedded in the day-to-day of a fast-growing, globally minded practice.

Who we’re looking for:

• Law graduate students (LL.M. IEJ, or Bar School) with a genuine pull toward international arbitration.
• Sharp researchers and confident drafters.
• Fluent in English and French, written and spoken.
• Curious, rigorous, and ready to contribute from day one.
