Paralegal Intern

About us:

Case management runs on Clio, and billing is done in-house. We practice general law in a small town, so one day might be a closing and the next a custody hearing. Bar dues and CLE costs are paid by the firm.

Overview:

Remote internship with the Policy and Regulatory. You will research case law and statutes, prepare memos and help draft contracts and policies. Remote, open to candidates across Ireland. Monday to Friday, regular working hours, flexible start and finish. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Responsibilities:

• Build compliance checklists for data protection, labour and consumer laws
• Maintain a research log so others can find past work
• Prepare case summaries with facts, issues, holding and reasoning in a set format
• Compile background research for policy drafts such as the privacy policy and terms of use

• Verify citations and quotations in drafts before they go to the supervising lawyer

• Good legal research skills from moot court, coursework or previous internships
• Comfortable with MS Word, track changes and comments
• Familiarity with at least one legal database
• Available 20 to 30 hours a week for 1 to 3 months
• Strong written English and the ability to write clearly without padding
• Laptop with stable internet

What you get out of it:

• Feedback on every draft, not just a certificate at the end
• Certificate of internship and a recommendation letter on request
• How in-house legal teams handle compliance and risk
• Contract drafting and review on real commercial agreements

Duration: 4 months
