Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Harvey operates as an enterprise AI SaaS platform selling into legal and professional services, which makes the legal function unusually product-adjacent. In this context, a Legal Intern role sits close to how AI capabilities become contract terms, partnership structures, and compliant commercial motions, rather than being limited to traditional corporate housekeeping.
For a SaaS career, the standout value is early exposure to the mechanics of monetising software in regulated, high-trust environments. Work that touches commercial SaaS agreements, data and AI provisions, and partner programs builds a practical understanding of recurring-revenue risk allocation, procurement expectations, and how platform companies scale globally. The option to engage with AI-assisted workflows also reflects a broader SaaS trend: internal teams operationalising automation, not only shipping it to customers.
This role tends to fit someone who wants an in-house vantage point on how SaaS companies translate product strategy into enforceable commitments. It will suit candidates comfortable juggling multiple stakeholders and iterating on processes, and those curious about the intersection of legal craft, partnerships, and applied AI inside a software business.

Job Description
Why Harvey
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate — not incrementally, but end-to-end. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1000+ customers in 58+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle — from early thinking to long-term outcomes. We stay close to our customers — from leadership to engineers — and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
Role Overview
As a Legal Intern at Harvey, you’ll be embedded directly into our legal and strategic teams to help navigate the frontier of law and artificial intelligence. You will work alongside experienced attorneys and strategic leaders to make immediate contributions to Harvey’s mission, gaining hands-on experience in a high-growth in-house environment.
This 12-week internship is ideal for law students who are passionate about the intersection of technology and innovation. You’ll choose between two distinct tracks:
Strategic Partnerships (All Years): Defines and executes Harvey’s partnerships roadmap, using legal subject matter expertise to shape strategic programs, including Harvey for Law Schools, product partners, data partners, and go-to-market partners.
In-House Legal (1L only): Support the team committed to helping Harvey navigate the legal landscape and achieve its business objectives. Interns will gain hands-on experience working on substantive projects in a dynamic in-house legal department, with exposure to high-level business and legal decision-making. They will also receive mentorship and guidance from experienced attorneys.
What You’ll Do
During your internship, you will:
Support on high-impact projects. Help draft, review, and negotiate commercial AI SaaS contracts and other technology and AI-related agreements. Or help identify and solve gaps in partnership strategy and execution, with input from our customer base, partners, and your legal experience.
Pioneer the future of legal work. Don’t just use AI—help us build with it. You will help design, test, and refine AI-assisted workflows that redefine what it means for a legal team or partners to be efficient and intelligent.
Broaden your wheelhouse. Rapidly develop your craft in legal research and contract drafting by being embedded in a world-class team that operates at the speed of a high-growth startup. Or help deepen new partnerships initiatives, such as our law school student ambassador program and supporting faculty embeds in their courses.
Solve hard problems. Get exposed to the needs of a tight-knit team, picking up new aspects of legal work as they arise and ensuring the seamless execution of our global agreements. Or work cross-functionally across teams to ensure partners needs are met and internal alignment is maintained.
What You Have
Currently pursuing a JD at an accredited law school.
Ability to work from our New York City office during May–September (based on your summer schedule); relocation and housing support will be available.
Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to track multiple workstreams across different teams without losing momentum.
A proactive, "start-up" mindset; you don’t wait for a prompt to fix a broken process or suggest a more efficient way of working.
Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills, with a service-oriented attitude and a love for solving complex puzzles.
Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build professional relationships and drive urgency through collaboration.
Interest in technology and innovation; prior AI experience is welcomed but not required.
Must have U.S. work authorization; this role is not eligible for sponsorship.
