Small start-up law firm has an opening for one recently admitted attorney to work as an unpaid intern/apprentice. Title of associate for admitted attorney if length of your commitment is at least six months for substantially full-time (hours/days flexible). Firm consists of three (one in NYC, two abroad) experienced corporate/M&A/securities lawyers formerly practicing at prestigious New York law firms. The firm handles cross-border transactional or business law matters, primarily related to corporate and commercial transactions, financial transactions, investment banking, investment funds, securities and commodities regulation, joint ventures, and international law. No litigation document review or privilege logs. There is no secretarial or support staff (yet). There is a remote possibility of receiving sporadic income from fees as collected by the firm on billable work, such income would be minimal and undependable at best. The firm does not offer any health plan or other benefits. Although this internship is a good opportunity to gain experience and build your resume, it should be viewed as a stepping stone rather than as an opportunity to grow into a permanent salaried position. The firm only recruits laterals with business generating ability. Please do not apply if you do not have the economic means to support yourself during the period of your commitment.
Preferred Qualifications: Availability to start immediately; admission to practice law in at least one jurisdiction (foreign or domestic); law degree (J.D. or LL.M.) from a U.S. law school; strong academics, writing, critical thinking and analytical ability, and organizational skills; self-motivated; fast learner; relevant academic or work experience; fluency in Portuguese; strong work ethic; computer skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); positive attitude and other positive attributes or skills will all be considered.
