About Latham & Watkins

Latham & Watkins is a global law firm consistently ranked among the top firms in the world. The success of our firm is largely determined by our commitment to hire and develop the very best and brightest, creating a team that provides our clients with the highest quality of work and service. We are driven by our core values: respect, innovation, and collaboration.  

About the Role

We are seeking 2025 graduates, or those who graduated within the last two years, to join our two-year Business Services Training Program in our Global Services Office in downtown Los Angeles beginning in Summer 2025.

As a Technology Business Services Trainee, you'll play an integral role in our large, diverse, business-focused technology community. The department is instrumental in driving firmwide technology developments, providing support and consulting services to the firm's global business. You will get exposure to project assignment opportunities within a department that offers diverse career prospects in technical, legal, and professional fields.

 

Over the two years, you’ll gain valuable experience working with colleagues from around the world and develop skills that will serve you well in your future career. The first year focuses on building a foundation of experience and capability in fundamental technologies, while the second year, based on your preferences, abilities, and business need, is dedicated to a specific function within the technology group.

 

Throughout both years, you'll actively contribute to advancing our department’s business objectives, nurture robust technical, professional, and communication skills, and gain invaluable insights into how technology supports business goals. This ensures a well-rounded and enriching learning experience. Please note that this role may be eligible for a flexible working schedule that allows for a hybrid and in-office presence.
