We specialise in commercial insurance for contractors, trucking companies and restaurants. Employee benefits clients use us for group health, dental, vision and life plans. January renewals keep everyone busy for a few weeks.

About the role:

Lafayette Insurance Agency is hiring a remote legal research intern to assist with research, drafting and case summaries. Open to law students in their 2nd year or above.

• Track regulatory updates relevant to the business and summarise them weekly.

Who can apply:

• Students or recent graduates of BIT, BCA, BBA, BBS or a related program.
• Available for the full internship period, work from home.
• Good legal research skills from moot court, coursework or previous internships.
• Careful with citations and deadlines.
• Comfortable with MS Word, track changes and comments.
