Not coffee.What you\'ll be doing Drafting and reviewing customer contracts, service agreements, and engagement termsMaintaining and updating our data compliance documentation as regulations evolveReviewing client projects during development to validate that data handling practices meet applicable compliance requirements — HIPAA, CCPA, GDPR, and others as relevantCoordinating with our external counsel on matters that require bar-licensed sign-offHelping define how we handle PHI, PII, and other regulated data types — storage, residency, retention, and access controls — across client engagementsBuilding out the internal legal infrastructure a growing software company actually needsWhat we\'re looking for You\'re in your third year of law school.
