The Role

We are looking for a driven, proactive, and results-oriented intern to join our Legal team in London for an initial 3-month internship, with the potential to extend to 6 months depending on business need and performance. The Legal team is a dynamic, external and internal-facing function which supports all aspects of the business across all offices, from Tokyo to San Francisco. You will have a broad range of work, including:

  • Conducting legal research;
  • Monitoring and assisting with requests, ranging from clients to third parties;
  • Exposure to commercial contracting with clients and vendors, covering the full spectrum of contracts necessary to support a global business;
  • Developing internal policies and training materials; and
  • Assisting the Legal team with ongoing drafting, editing, monitoring and review of key contracts.

All of the above is being done at a global scale with multi jurisdictional challenges in a fast-paced company.

As a Legal Intern you will grow and develop in a high-growth commercial environment. We will provide you with autonomy in your day-to-day work and give you the opportunity to be a self-starter. This is an ideal role for someone who’s keen to gain legal experience while having direct access and exposure to the commercial and organisational workings of a dynamic, innovative global business. We are looking for a person who wants to join our high performance team, have real impact and be part of AlphaSights’ growth story.

What we look for

  • Self confidence– ability to thrive in a dynamic environment
  • A proactive mindset– ability to think ahead and anticipate how issues can be prevented
  • Agility – ability to execute on numerous workstreams within the same timeframe
  • Emotional intelligence and exceptional team playing skills– ability to build relationships within the Legal team and work effectively with other stakeholders
  • Strong communication skills– ability to speak and write clearly and effectively

What you’ll need

  • BA/BS/LLB from a top university; a law course or background in law is a big plus and completion of the LPC/GDL ideal
  • Previous professional work experience, ideally at a law firm or in-house (or equivalent in your jurisdiction)

Fluency in English (foreign language skills are also a plus)
