Legal Intern

About us:

We practice general law in a small town, so one day might be a closing and the next a custody hearing. Case management runs on Clio, and billing is done in-house. Paralegals rarely work weekends, though trial prep can change that.

The internship:

Work on contract reviews, compliance checklists and legal research notes for CWG Law Offices. All work is online and reviewed by a qualified lawyer. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Salem, and the stipend is paid monthly in euros. Our standups are at 9:00 AM Pacific. A quiet workspace and good internet are required.

What you'll do:

• Write short explainers on legal topics for internal teams in plain language
• Verify citations and quotations in drafts before they go to the supervising lawyer
• Assist in drafting NDAs, service agreements and vendor contracts from templates
• Build compliance checklists for data protection, labour and consumer laws
• Maintain a research log so others can find past work
• Draft research memos on specific legal questions, with full citations

• Based in Germany for the duration of the internship
