About your Internship:

We are seeking a Legal & Compliance Extern to join our global in-house Legal Team. R3’s Legal Team provides support to and collaborates with stakeholders across R3’s organization, including the commercial, product, engineering, and professional services teams. Some of our day-to-day activities include negotiating commercial contracts, NDAs, and vendor agreements; ensuring R3 is compliant with applicable laws, contractual obligations and policies; reviewing and contributing to commercial proposals; and reviewing corporate documents. This externship is an opportunity for you to work alongside and learn from our close-knit team comprising 4 attorneys of varying levels of experience, based in both New York and London.


Engage in weekly one-to-one sessions with your manager to discuss feedback and set goals for the upcoming week. Gain insights from leaders across the organisation, offering you a holistic view of how a pioneering tech start-up operates from Product to Sales. Showcase your work, learn from experienced team members, and make the most of the opportunities presented during your internship.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist with template agreement updates and other processes surrounding software license agreements, statements of work, and professional services agreements
  • Assist with non-disclosure and vendor agreement reviews
  • Conduct sanctions checks, update compliance policies and assist with other compliance-related matters
  • Perform ad hoc research projects
  • Assist with ongoing intellectual property portfolio maintenance and open source software issues
  • Assist with data privacy audit
  • Manage contract database
  • Assist with corporate and real estate matters as needed

Education & Experience:

  • Currently studying an undergraduate degree in law or PGDL
  • Analytic and diagnostic skills
  • Interest in start-ups, fintech and/or blockchain technology
  • Experience working on an in-house legal team and/or private practice is a plus

Additional Information:

  • Please note that our Summer externship will be running from June-September 2024 and we can therefore only consider applicants who can commit to these time frames.
  • Moreover, we cannot provide sponsorship for this position so candidates will need to have the right to work in the US if they are to be considered.
