The Challenge:

Take-Two’s Summer Internship Program is designed to provide students with an opportunity to gain substantive, first-hand business insight over the course of a paid internship. Interns will gain hands-on exposure in the area(s) of their desired interests as well as participate in team-based summer-long projects. Our internships are created with the intent that students walk away with meaningful learning experiences that enhance both their personal and professional development goals.

Our legal team is involved in everything we do here at T2. Our legal intern will have the opportunity to work with our in-house attorneys in a wide array of focus areas.  In this internship, you’ll get a glimpse into the inner workings of our first class legal department that supports all of our business areas.

What You’ll Take On:

That depends! The structure and the assigned projects for our legal interns are different each year and are based on the department’s needs at the time and each intern’s interests. Each of our legal interns will have an experience that is truly unique to them. In the past, interns have focused on Intellectual Property, Sports and Entertainment, Technology, Corporate, Real Estate, Privacy, Litigation, and Employment Law. You can be assured that you will end your summer with a good understanding of what it is like to be part of an in-house legal team within a large public company.
