What can you do with us?
Working with us will give you the opportunity to gain experience in a modern, open law firm under the guidance of leading professionals in a wide variety of legal fields.
We will properly teach you the basics of legal work. Because we know very well from our own interns that good practices and habits learned from the beginning accelerate and positively influence further development.
You will be entrusted with tasks such as:
- Handling cases and projects
- Drafting powers of attorney, legal opinions, pleadings, analyses and memoranda.
And as we highly value your inquisitiveness and willingness to broaden your knowledge, we will work together on legal research.
What is it like to work at Kochański & Partners?
You will do your internship among experienced and vibrant young lawyers, in a close-knit and cheerful team that is always willing to help you and will strongly support your development.
We will try to accommodate your internship to fit in with your university schedule, but we need you present for a minimum of 24 hours per week.
We will give you an internship salary and the necessary equipment: a company phone, laptop and your own workspace.
We value work-life balance, so you are welcome to participate in all our initiatives such as company meetings and charity projects. We have our own sports teams, so you will certainly find an activity you enjoy for any free time you might have!
You can also take advantage of our non-wage benefits programme, including a Multisport card and conversations with a British native speaker.
And there’s something else we value. An ongoing relationship, which is why we place such a strong emphasis on career development.
How to join us?
If you would like to become part of our team, keep an eye on the current announcements on our website, under the KARIERA tab.
You can also apply directly by simply replying to the general ad.
What is our recruitment process like?
You’ll first have an interview with a lawyer or specialist in the relevant area of law and one of the members of our HR team.
After this interview, there will be a short English test – just to check your language skills. You’ll also be given a case study to solve.
That’s all there is to it! Once you pass these stages, we’ll be happy to welcome you on board.
Who are we looking for?
Internships are open to 4th and 5th year law students and graduates.

Kochański & Partners Master Academy 2025 | Energy Law Academy
Nuclear power is becoming a key element in Poland’s energy transition. Everyone expects it to develop dynamically and comprehensively in the coming decades. However, the road from planning to commissioning of a power plant is long and challenging, and (the best) lawyers are needed at every stage of the process.
Indeed, the legal aspects associated with the construction and operation of nuclear power plants are a complex ecosystem of regulations that requires not only highly specialised knowledge, but also practical know-how in the implementation of such projects and in-depth analysis of complex issues at the intersection of law, technology and cyber security.
It is worth becoming acquainted with these issues, understanding them and investigating them, as this knowledge can open up completely new doors in professional development. And since the number of experts in this field in Poland is extremely limited, we would like to invite students interested in energy law to a meeting with Dr Łukasz Młynarkiewicz, head of the Nuclear Law Practice and one of the few lawyers who can boast of practical experience in such projects.
K&P Master Academy | How can you feel more comfortable and maintain good relationships with others during important conversations?
The ability to communicate and hold conversations is a powerful advantage in professional and business settings, and beyond.
Being able to listen, adapt to different paces, tones and situations, understand other people’s perspectives, and maintain your own boundaries is definitely an art.
However, it is an art that can be learned.
That is why we are inviting you to a webinar organised by our partners at the French-Polish Chamber of Commerce, which will help us develop our skills in conducting important professional conversations.
How can you feel more comfortable and maintain good relationships with others during important conversations?
Conversations at work can sometimes be challenging – in this webinar, we will learn how to approach them with greater confidence and maintain positive relationships.
This webinar will provide an excellent opportunity to learn how to:
- Develop active listening skills and better understand the other person’s perspective
- Set healthy boundaries in demanding situations
- Conduct conversations in a calm and authentic manner
