Yes, this is a very common issue when applying for legal internships at MNCs, banks, and large
companies — most don’t explicitly list “legal internships” on their careers pages, and rarely
advertise them publicly. But there are proven strategies to still get in.
✅ What to Do When Legal Internships Aren’t Listed on the Career Page
1. 🔍 Find the Legal/Compliance Team’s Contact
Use LinkedIn and the company website to find:
Head of Legal / General Counsel
Legal Associate / Manager
Compliance Manager
HR / Talent Acquisition Officer
Use these keywords in LinkedIn or Google:
[Company Name] + legal department LinkedIn
[Company Name] + legal team + "email"
✅ Example:
Search: Legal Manager Axis Bank site:linkedin.com
OR: Legal internship Axis Bank contact email site:kanooniyat.com
2. ✉️Email the Legal or HR Department Directly
Even if internships aren’t listed, large companies often accept interns on a rolling basis through
direct outreach.
Use this cold email template (customize as needed):
