LionTree Advisors is now opening applications for our 10-week Summer 2027 Internship Programme in London.

LionTree offers a 10-week summer internship within our investment banking advisory team in London, for penultimate year university students. Our London office focuses exclusively on dealmaking across media, technology and telecommunications (TMT).

The programme is our primary pipeline for the 2028 Investment Banking Analyst intake: strong performers will be considered for a full-time Analyst offer, joining the following summer after graduation.

Each intern is paired with a peer buddy and a senior banker mentor for the duration of the programme, supporting both day to day integration and longer-term career development.
