Legal Operations Intern

About H: H exists to push the boundaries of superintelligence with agentic AI. By automating complex, multi-step tasks typically performed by humans, AI agents will help unlock full human potential. H is hiring the world’s best AI talent, seeking those who are dedicated as much to building safely and responsibly as to advancing disruptive agentic capabilities. We promote a mindset of openness, learning, and collaboration, where everyone has something to contribute. About the Role: Our Legal team, based in Paris, supports every deal, hire and partnership at H. As requests grow, we want legal work to run on clear processes and good tools rather than on inboxes. You will be the front door for legal requests, run the contract lifecycle day to day, and above all build the tooling and automations that let the team move faster. You will report to our General Counsel. This is a 6 month internship, open to EFB (Barreau de Paris) students completing their PPI, or to recent graduates of an M2 in business law. Key Responsibilities: Tooling and automation (the core of the role): Map our existing legal processes and identify bottlenecks. Benchmark tools (contract lifecycle management, e-signature, request management) and deliver a costed recommendation. Build simple automations: intake forms, approval workflows, and Claude projects for first-pass contract reviews. Create a dashboard showing request volumes, turnaround times and active contracts. Front door for legal requests: Receive, triage and route internal requests (NDAs, customer contracts, vendors, HR). Set up and maintain a request tracker (Notion, Linear or similar) with status, priority and deadline. Follow up with internal and external stakeholders to keep matters moving. Contract lifecycle: Prepare first drafts from templates (NDAs, POCs, standard order forms), always reviewed by the General Counsel. Coordinate internal approvals with Sales, Finance and Engineering, and own our e-signature workflows from start to finish. Maintain a register of signed contracts: parties, dates, term, auto-renewal, notice periods and liability caps. Flag key deadlines such as renewals, terminations and POC end dates. Documentation and knowledge management: Organise the template library and fallback clauses. Write internal playbooks, for example “how to request an NDA” or “customer contract approval flow”. Keep the data room and corporate records up to date (shareholder meetings, President’s decisions, statutory registers). Compliance and inventories: Maintain GDPR records: processing activities, sub-processors and signed DPAs. Inventory our trademark and IP portfolio. Prepare tracking sheets for AI Act compliance. Legal spend tracking: Centralise outside counsel invoices and track budgets per matter. Requirements: Education: EFB (Barreau de Paris) student looking for a PPI internship, ideally, or a recent M2 graduate in business law. Technical Skills: Solid grounding in contract law, with an interest in commercial, da
