Making a decision about what career path to take is an overwhelming one. Because we work across many different sectors, there are lots of opportunities to try new things and hone your skills.
Early careers at LCP
We offer a range of internships and a fantastic graduate programme that will help you learn the technical skills you need as well as connecting you to incredible people.
You'll have access to cutting-edge tools, technology and AI-enabled ways of working, but you'll always be encouraged to apply your own judgement, challenge assumptions and bring your perspective.
Many people who joined as graduates, including our CEO, have gone on to become Partners at the firm. That means the people leading our business today understand exactly what it’s like to be taking your first career steps. Our partnership model helps us think long term – investing in future generations of talent and creating opportunities for people to build lasting careers.

Why LCP?
It’s hard to get a real feel for the culture of a company without hearing from the people that work there. Watch why people work at LCP and why they stay.
What will I do day-to-day as a graduate?
The work you will do day-to-day will vary depending on which department you join. In the early years, your day-to-day work is likely to involve a combination of:
- Training to help you build your expertise in the relevant areas.
- Helping carry out the modelling and analysis that underpins our advice to clients.
- Liaising with other parties also involved in our work, both internally in LCP and externally.
- Attending client meetings alongside senior colleagues, to help develop your presentation and networking skills.
As you progress through your career, there will be an increasing focus on leading client projects, fronting advice to clients, managing junior project teams, and building/sustaining strong client relationships.
Working as a summer intern
As a summer intern you will get involved in the same work as our graduate trainees. You will be part of a whole variety of projects and be given real responsibility from day one.
Joining any one of our key business areas you'll work on a range of clients from FTSE 100 and global companies to smaller private firms. Your tasks will include calculations by hand, writing spreadsheets and drafting letters and reports for our clients.
You'll work alongside a number of colleagues, from recently recruited graduates to experienced partners of the firm - giving you a chance to find out about their experiences of the work we do and LCP.
What's more, we are keen to present you with opportunities to meet clients. So we'll do our best to take you along to client meetings during your internship. Then you'll see first-hand what being a consultant is really about.
