The Role

OfferUp is seeking a motivated, self-starting Legal Intern to join our small internal legal team for Summer 2026, with an option to extend the position into the school year.  This is an excellent summer internship opportunity for someone who is interested in pursuing an in-house legal career.  In this role, you will have the opportunity to gain broad, substantive legal experience across the full range of issues faced by a technology company operating at a start-up pace.  You will have the ability to do real legal work, with direct mentorship from the General Counsel and Senior Corporate Counsel.  

What you will do: 

• Research regulatory developments in areas relevant to the company, including state privacy laws and consumer protection, create business facing materials on regulatory issues, and advise business teams

• Help implement and improve legal team workflows, templates, contract repository and knowledge management systems, compliance processes, playbooks, and training materials


• Draft and update Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and other user-facing policies


• Triage and respond to internal legal questions from business teams across the company


• Anything else that comes through the door!

After this internship you will: 

• Have an understanding of the day-to-day activities of an in-house legal department


• Have developed an understanding of relevant legal tools and systems


• Have an understanding of the commercial contract life-cycle

You’ll thrive in this role if:

• Currently enrolled in an ABA-accredited law school; returning to school after the internship


• You have a proven ability to learn quickly in a dynamic, ever-changing environment


• You don't wait to be told what to do next.  You take initiative, ask good questions, and figure things out


• You are able to manage a variety of fast-paced deadlines with a patient and positive attitude


• You understand and respect the sensitive nature of confidential information and can navigate complex situations and tasks in a discrete and efficient manner


• You have a strong attention to detail and excellent verbal and written communication skills
