About the role:
As a Legal Intern on our Legal Operations team, you will sit exactly where paralegal work meets project management. That blend is what Legal Ops is: you will help prepare, review, and organize legal documents, and you will also keep the team's matters, deadlines, and trackers moving forward. You will work closely with our US Legal Team and with partners across Compliance, Finance, and Operations, learning first-hand how an in-house legal function runs inside a fast-growing, publicly traded fintech.
We are seeking a talented and motivated Legal Intern who is best in class with a high IQ plus a high EQ. This role presents an exciting opportunity to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment within a rapidly growing team, with abundant prospects for career advancement.
This is a paid, fully remote internship. No prior full-time legal experience is required; curiosity, ownership, and organization matter more.
What You'll Do:
• Legal support (the paralegal side) • Support the US Legal Team with day-to-day support requests. • Review and analyze documents: review incoming liens, notices, and agreements to assess their validity, accuracy, and compliance with legal requirements, escalating anything unusual. • Prepare and file documents: draft lien documents, templates, and standard forms accurately and efficiently, under the supervision of counsel or a senior paralegal, and always within deadline. • Maintain the legal database: update and maintain electronic records of liens, contracts, and corporate documentation, filing and organizing everything for easy retrieval. • Assist with compliance audits: support internal and external audits by pulling documentation and information related to lien processing and other legal activities. • Stay informed on US legal requirements: keep up to date on relevant laws, regulations, and industry best practices, and flag anything that should change how we work.
