About the role

Want to explore a career in law at a global tech company? This is a paid work experience programme built for aspiring lawyers taking their very first steps - whether you’re wrapping up school or just getting started at college or university. You’ll get a real taste of life as an in-house lawyer at Skyscanner (spoiler: it’s fast-moving, varied, and no two days are the same).

Over two weeks, you’ll join our Legal team in Edinburgh, Glasgow or London — experiencing the pace, variety and real-world impact of in-house legal work up close.
