Paid Intern - Legal for Music Business

Part Time Paid Internship
Tuff City Records is looking for a legal intern for the upcoming semester. For this internship, we are seeking to hire a student ideally in his or her final semester who would be interested in becoming a full-time employee after graduation. Recent graduates are also welcome. Tuff City Records is an independent record label in midtown Manhattan. We offer law interns one of the most rewarding and educational experiences in the music business. Tuff City Records is a 40-year veteran company, rich with copyrights and other intellectual property. We execute a steady stream of third-party licenses for all kinds of media, from the usual TV and film deals to superstar merchandise deals. In addition, we share copyrights with major labels that are now 1000 times our size. We are more than occasionally in litigation to assert our copyright and other rights.
