Law Internships in Barcelona, Spain
by: Adelante Abroad
Law internships in Spain are growing in popularity, with Spanish law firms or "bufetes" much more welcoming than they were a few years ago. The Adelante intern pool has been requesting law internships abroad more frequently. Interning in a Spanish law firm in Barcelona increases the chance of your resume sticking out among the rest. Law candidates gain experience in a variety of fields, including but not limited to labor, criminal, and administrative law. Your responsibilities range from assisting with projects and cases to shadowing a lawyer. These placements are perfect for law students or students seeking international experience working in a law firm. This sector is often the most complicated to find a placement in. Law firms in Spain require not only a high level of Spanish but also high LSAT scores and enrollment in a law school. With this international internship, we can place you in municipal courts in Barcelona, legal departments in companies, and in law firms. You will live and work in the city, giving you plenty of opportunities to explore Catalonia’s cosmopolitan and vibrant capital. Submit a $325 application deposit to secure your spot!

Amazing company that led to an amazing internship experience!
January 27, 2022by: Jacqueline Tierrablanca - United StatesAdelante went above and beyond with helping me file for my visa and any other documents. They were very straight forward about pricing, and I was very happy about my internship and housing placement. From your first phone call to your final day in Spain, they will help you with any problem that might arise. They made the visa process very simple for me and even helped me get college credit for my legal internship abroad. They have excursions that you can take a part of, and you will meet amazing people through those excursions and events!
