Infografía FAQs  


Is there rotation by area?

The internships for undergraduate degrees and masters for access to the practice of law are carried out in one practice area. For your integration, it is important that you make the most of this experience and learn all about the practice area and the specialty in great detail.

However, if you complete more than one internship, you can do the internships in different groups and practice areas to learn more about the firm e.g., you could do the internship for the third year of the undergraduate degree in the Corporate and Commercial Practice and the internship of a master for admission to the practice of law in the Tax Practice. When you join the firm later, we will assign you to a specialty area, so you can develop your career.

How can I find out about the status of my application?

We will keep you updated at all times regarding your application status. If you have any queries, contact the HR specialist in charge of your selection process or send an email to rrhh.seleccion@cuatrecasas.com.
