Legal Operations Intern Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

TechnologyAdvice and The 615 Group are hiring a practical, business-minded legal leader to serve as the primary in-house legal advisor across a portfolio of businesses, including TechnologyAdvice, 615 Ventures, and Woolworth Theatre.

This is a hands-on role for an attorney who enjoys working closely with the business, advising executives, solving practical problems, and helping teams move quickly while managing risk.

This role offers direct exposure to senior leadership and the opportunity to help shape how legal supports a fast-moving group of founder-led businesses.

Success in this role means becoming a trusted legal advisor to leadership and key business stakeholders, helping teams move faster through practical, risk-calibrated guidance, stronger legal processes, and effective support across commercial, employment, and corporate matters.
