Overview

BUSINESS & LEGAL AFFAIRS SUMMER 2024 LAW STUDENT INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Concord is seeking law students who are currently 1L or 2L students at ABA-approved law schools for paid summer 2024 internships in the Business & Legal Affairs Department.

Concords Business & Legal Affairs team is comprised of 40+ professionals who provide business and legal affairs support to Concords three primary divisions: Recorded Music, Music Publishing, and Theatricals. The team works closely with A&R, Finance, Royalties, and Licensing in each division.

Students who are selected for these internships will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of business and legal affairs matters in each of Concords divisions. Work experience may include shadowing or assisting with mergers and acquisitions; frontline artist, writer, and author signings; contract summaries and administration; new media licensing; infringement and litigation; and more. Our goal is to provide a varied, educational, and engaging legal experience for interns, while enabling them to contribute to Concord and its operations in a meaningful way.

Applicants should have: the ability to work both independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment; excellent legal research and writing skills; good judgement and ability to prioritize tasks; attention to detail and strong follow-up skills; excellent organizational and communication skills; and be tech savvy with experience using Microsoft Office (specifically Office 365, including Outlook, Word, and Excel). Ideally candidates will have had some exposure to intellectual property law and/or copyright law. Candidates must have a demonstrated passion for music business.

While Concord has offices across the world, summer 2024 internships will operate on a hybrid schedule with interns working primarily in either Concords Los Angeles, Nashville, or New York City office. A fully remote internship position may be considered based on the circumstances. The program will be 10 weeks, with an anticipated start date of June 4th.
