The candidate can expect a mixture of on-the-job and real-world exposure of not only the legal and contracts support functions, but other cross-functional business operations during the internship period.

• Participate in internal process improvement initiatives, including development of templates, checklists, playbooks, and SOPs for recurring contract and compliance activities.
• Conduct preliminary contract reviews for a variety of agreements, including customer subcontracts, vendor contracts, NDAs, MOUs, and teaming agreements, identifying key terms, risks, and compliance obligations.
• Assist in contract negotiation preparation by developing issues lists, reviewing counterpart redlines, and coordinating with internal stakeholders to gather positions and risk assessments.
• Support Legal and Contracts teams in drafting, revising, and formatting contract provisions, ensuring accuracy and alignment with company policies and applicable regulations.
• Support the Legal and Contracts teams in responding to internal inquiries by researching relevant statutes, regulations, or precedents and preparing draft guidance.
• Support maintenance of corporate governance and administration for relevant legal entities.
• Maintain legal archive documents and advise and assist on organizational document information and management practices.

The expertise the candidate will develop in the role

• Ability to break down and understand complex legal and regulatory problems.
• Understand the process of memorializing contractual deals where the U.S. Government is the ultimate customer.
• Deeper understanding of contract lifecycle management, including initial review, negotiation strategy, drafting, and execution.
• Learning how to work and communicate within a large, multinational company with several affiliate entities.
• Organizing the elements of closing both simple and complex transactions
• Counseling internal clients on potential risks and opportunities associated with certain business decisions.
• Enhanced legal research skills applied to real-time business needs, including procurement law, government contracting requirements, and general corporate legal topics.
• Enhanced communication and advocacy skills

Requirements

• Cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher preferred
• Currently enrolled in an ABA approved law school
• Ability to deal with ambiguity in a fast-paced environment.
• Good organizational skills, including time management and extreme attention to detail.
• Propensity to be self-guided (manager will be largely remote from Crystal City Corporate office)
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with others on projects and assignments to achieve optimal results.
