  • Assisting with research related to regulations, risk, insurance, vendor agreements, and corporate policies
  • Helping evaluate financial, legal, and operational considerations tied to company initiatives
What You'll Gain

  • Contract review and legal issue spotting
  • Government contracting compliance and administration
  • Budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting
  • Risk management and internal controls
  • Executive-level business operations in a small-business government contracting environment
Ideal Candidate
We are looking for a JD/MBA student who is analytical, detail-oriented, discreet, and comfortable working with confidential business information.
Strong candidates will have:
  • Excellent writing, research, and communication skills
  • Strong analytical judgment and attention to detail
  • Ability to review legal and business documents and identify key issues
  • Proficiency with Excel and comfort working with financial information
  • Interest in corporate law, finance, government contracting, construction, compliance, or business operations
  • Ability to work independently, manage deadlines, and handle sensitive information professionally
  • Prior exposure to contracts, accounting, finance, compliance, or government contracting is a plus
  • Prior military experience or familiarity with veteran-owned business programs is a plus
Schedule and Location
This is a paid internship based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The summer role is expected to be full-time, with some flexibility to accommodate academic obligations and summer travel.
