Data Engineer Intern

Data Engineer / Analyst Intern

Turn messy operational data into the signal that drives decisions.

About Us

We're a group of affiliated law firms and legal technology ventures building modern, tech-forward practices across estate planning, business transactional work, litigation, patent law, and AI-powered legal education. Interns joining us don't work inside a single silo — they plug into a connected ecosystem where legal work and product development happen side by side.

Our four ventures:

• Legacy First Law (LFL) — Boutique firm focused exclusively on estate planning and business transactional work. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, entity formation, operating agreements, and contract work for families and closely held businesses.
• Amicus Lex Law (ALX) — Litigation-oriented firm handling probate, estate pre-litigation, business pre-litigation, and personal injury matters. Strategy-driven work focused on shaping outcomes before cases escalate.
• Thaler IP Law — Patent firm with a dedicated AI patent practice. Full patent lifecycle work plus specialized focus on protecting machine learning systems, model architectures, and AI-enabled inventions.
• Law School AI — AI platform that teaches people about law and provides legal information without requiring them to attend law school. A product-first venture building tools that make legal knowledge accessible to anyone.

When you apply, tell us which role(s) you're interested in and which venture appeals to you — we'll place you where the fit is strongest. You may also work across multiple ventures depending on project needs.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain data pipelines that pull from internal systems, third-party tools, and operational sources
• Design clean data models and keep the source of truth actually true
• Produce dashboards, reports, and analyses that real people will use to make real decisions
• Apply AI and ML techniques where they add insight — classification, summarization, extraction, embedding-based search
• Partner with attorneys, operations, and engineering to define the questions that actually matter
• Document data definitions and pipelines so the work survives after the internship

Where You Might Work

• LFL: Practice analytics, matter performance reporting, and client lifecycle data
• ALX: Case outcome analysis, damages modeling, and intake-to-resolution pipeline data
• Thaler IP Law: Patent portfolio analytics, prior art pipelines, and AI-driven technical disclosure analysis
• Law School AI: User learning analytics, content performance, and data pipelines feeding the platform's AI features

You're a Good Fit If You

• Have strong SQL skills and fluency in Python (pandas, numpy) or equivalent
• Have experience building pipelines, working with APIs, and wrangling data that didn't come out clean
• Have practical experience applying AI/ML — LLMs for text work, embeddings for search, or ML models for prediction/classification
• Are comfortable with data visualization tools and have an eye for what makes a chart actually useful
• Are curious, methodical, and willing to double-check your own numbers before presenting them

What We Offer

•  Real data problems tied to real business decisions

•  Room to experiment with AI-driven analysis and automation

•  Mentorship from a team that values clarity and rigor

•  Remote, flexible hours

•  A portfolio of analyses and pipelines you built end-to-end
