Schedule: Summer internship, approximately 10-12 weeks, June, July, August
Role Overview
Nasuni is looking for a law student to join our legal team as a Summer Legal Intern in our Boston Seaport office. This internship is a hands-on opportunity to see how an in-house legal department works inside a fast-growing SaaS and cloud technology company.
You will support a mix of legal operations, contract organization, research, privacy, compliance, and process improvement projects. The work is practical, detailed, and business-facing. You will help the legal team stay organized, improve internal systems, and create resources that make it easier for legal, sales, product, security, finance, HR, and operations teams to work together.
This role is a strong fit for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, curious about technology, AI Workflows, and interested in learning how legal teams support business decisions. It is not designed for someone seeking independent legal decision-making authority, litigation-focused work, or a fully remote summer role.
Level & Scope Definition
This is a supervised summer internship for a current law student. You will work on defined projects with guidance from members of the legal team. You will not provide legal advice independently or make final legal decisions. You will be expected to manage assigned tasks carefully, ask thoughtful questions, protect confidential information, and deliver accurate, well-organized work.
The role is primarily execution-focused, with opportunities to recommend practical improvements to legal workflows, trackers, templates, and internal resources.
Responsibilities
Support the organization and maintenance of legal files, contract records, templates, playbooks, and internal legal resources.
Assist with contract management projects, including tracking key terms, renewal dates, obligations, approvals, and related metadata.
Help prepare summaries, checklists, trackers, and process documentation that make legal work easier to find, use, and maintain.
Support supervised privacy, compliance, vendor review, and internal policy projects.
Conduct legal or business research under attorney supervision and summarize findings clearly and practically.
Use approved technology and AI-enabled tools responsibly to support organization, summarization, and workflow improvement, while protecting confidentiality and validating outputs.
Contribute to special projects relevant to a growing SaaS and cloud technology company.
Expected Outcomes and Impact
By the end of the internship, the intern should have contributed to cleaner legal records, stronger contract tracking, better internal legal resources, and one or more practical process improvements that help the legal team scale.
Qualifications
Must-Have
Current law student in good standing.
Strong organization skills and attention to detail.
Clear written communication and ability to summarize information accurately.
Sound judgment, discretion, and respect for confidential information.
Curiosity, positive attitude, practical mindset, and willingness to ask good questions.
Ability to work onsite in Boston Seaport 3 days per week during the internship.
Preferred
Coursework, internship, clinic, or work experience related to contracts, privacy, compliance, legal operations, software, cloud, or technology.
Comfort working with spreadsheets, document repositories, trackers, or workflow tools.
Prior experience in a Tech Company, SaaS, enterprise technology, IT, data privacy, security, or software-related environments.
Thoughtful use and implementation of AI-enabled tools and workflows for research support, organization, drafting assistance, or process improvement.
Ideal
Demonstrated interest in in-house legal work, commercial contracting, legal operations, global privacy, or technology law.
Prior experience organizing complex information, operations, improving a process, or supporting cross-functional business teams.
Technical background, software experience, or ability to quickly understand cloud, SaaS, data, or security concepts.
Experience Guidelines
This role is designed for a current law student. Prior legal internship experience is helpful but not required. Candidates may come from law school clinics, research roles, legal operations projects, technology companies, startups, business operations roles, or other detail-heavy professional environments.
