PepsiCo is proud to honour its former general counsel Larry Thompson with an internship designed to promote diversity in the legal profession and advance PepsiCo’s commitment to supporting the development of professionals from diverse backgrounds. Throughout his career, Mr Thompson has been a steadfast champion of diversity and inclusion in the legal profession and a mentor to diverse attorneys. Through this internship, PepsiCo is committed to continuing Mr Thompson’s legacy of advancing diversity and inclusion in the legal profession.
The Program
The Larry D. Thompson Internship will award up to two (2) penultimate or final year law students with an opportunity to complete a paid 8-week internship program with PepsiCo ANZ.
The internship will commence on 13 January 2025 and is scheduled to run for 8 weeks on a full-time basis (however, this can be flexible based on your university or work commitments). The internship will take place at PepsiCo ANZ’s head office in Chatswood, Sydney.
You will have the opportunity to work closely with members of our Legal team and will be supported during your internship by an in-house counsel mentor. The internship aims to give you exposure to different business functions from a legal perspective, with meaningful work such as legal research, drafting advice, contract review, marketing review. Additionally, the internship aims to provide you with insights on the roles that key functions play in the organisation, to give you a broader commercial understanding of how our business operates.
