Description:

We’re looking for a highly motivated Lawyer Trainee who’s eager to learn the inner workings of legal practice from the ground up — no prior experience required, just a passion for justice and attention to detail. You’ll support our legal team by conducting research, summarizing statutes, and assisting with document preparation. We’ll teach you how to identify legal issues in everyday business situations and document them clearly for internal use. You’ll help prepare case materials, organize deadlines, and ensure that all filings and references are up to date. Expect to observe real client interactions and understand how legal advice is delivered with clarity and confidence. You’ll assist in due diligence, help review transaction documents, and observe how negotiations unfold. You’ll help flag missing information, unclear terms, or outdated templates in legal documents and reports. You’ll help write drafts of letters, simple agreements, and client-facing notes under lawyer supervision. We’ll show you how lawyers communicate clearly, ethically, and confidently with both clients and internal teams.

Basic Qualifications:

• Conduct due diligence for mergers, investments, or real estate transactions as needed.
• Balance multiple cases or projects without sacrificing quality or focus.
• Draft, review, and negotiate contracts, agreements, and other legal documents with precision.
• Supervise or mentor junior staff, paralegals, or interns when applicable.
• Advocate for your client’s best interests while staying within ethical and legal boundaries.

Preferred:

• Knows how to simplify legal language for non-lawyers while retaining accuracy.
• Familiar with legal databases such as LexisNexis, Westlaw, or local legal portals.
• Thrives in high-responsibility environments where precision and professionalism matter most.
• Experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts, agreements, or legal opinions.
• Willing to attend hearings, depositions, or negotiations as needed for client representation.

Benefits:

• Team culture built on mentoring, mutual respect, and zero toxic egos.
• Clear path for growth — associate to partner, or legal to leadership if that’s your route.
• Flexible work formats — hybrid, remote, or in-office based on your rhythm.
• Whether it’s litigation, corporate, IP, or contract law — your specialization is respected.
• Your advice won’t be ignored — it guides business, protects people, and shapes outcomes.

You’ll also help edit contracts, NDAs, and terms of service to ensure clarity and legal protection. You’ll gain insight into real legal processes, not from textbooks — but from contributing to live matters that require precision. You’ll receive coaching on legal tone, discretion, and how to communicate clearly without overcomplicating things. You’ll develop habits around confidentiality, documentation hygiene, and clear professional communication. You’ll build a foundation in both corporate and civil law, depending on the projects assigned. We believe in giving trainees room to think, ask, and even challenge — because that’s how great lawyers grow. You’ll also build a foundation for future legal study, internship applications, or junior roles in legal support. If you’re ready to turn your interest in law into real impact — we’re ready to help you get started.
