The Standard Bank Legal Graduate Programme is an 18-month initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of legal professionals within the banking sector. Scheduled to commence in February 2025, the programme is based in Rosebank, Johannesburg, and offers participants practical experience and exposure to the inner workings of a major financial institution. Graduates engage in a variety of legal functions, collaborating closely with business units to provide advisory services, manage legal risks, and contribute to the development of innovative financial products.
Throughout the programme, participants receive mentorship from experienced legal professionals, engage in continuous learning opportunities, and develop skills in commercial drafting, problem-solving, and decision-making. The programme emphasizes collaboration, encouraging graduates to work both independently and as part of a team to deliver high-quality legal services. Upon successful completion, participants are well-equipped to pursue advanced roles within Standard Bank’s legal department or other areas of the financial services industry.
Join the Standard Bank Communities of Expertise & SA Legal Graduate Programme commencing February 2025! The Legal team is so much more than what you would normally expect from a Legal function.
