Job Description:
We currently have a fantastic opportunity to join our innovative and highly sought-after Business & Legal Affairs Department at Atlantic Records.
A little bit about our team:
Our eight attorney department is one of the best and biggest in the music industry. Working closely with the A&R department, our team handles all of the new record deals under the Atlantic Records umbrella. Our attorneys maintain their roster of artists throughout their careers, taking care of all internal contracts, third party licensing, endorsements, and production agreements. Our department is integral to the Atlantic Records team by providing invaluable legal expertise and guidance which the company relies on for crafting the most artist-friendly and innovative record deals. Interns will work with all of the lawyers in the department as well as our contract administration team, and will assist the department in drafting contest and sweepstakes terms and conditions, revising recording agreements and licensing agreements, and drafting internal deal memos.
Why this could be your next big break:
Our interns will work closely with our department in the preparation and execution of a myriad contracts which touch all parts of our artists careers. Interns will have the opportunity to draft and revise contracts, internal documents and various other agreements. Interns are often invited into meetings and are able to hear and see how a major label legal department operates from the inside-out.

• You will get to talk to A&R, marketing, and business executives across the entire company, providing invaluable insights into how major record labels operate.
• You will get to research previous recording agreements and artist contracts and evaluate trends in the music industry.
Rockstar candidates will be able to:
• • You have an understanding of the key terms and players in the music industry.
• You have an ability to read a contract and parse out the important factors.
• You have the ability to take instruction, receive critique, and adapt to company drafting preferences.
• You have the ability to integrate yourself into the department and be proactive about asking for assignments and projects.
• You can take notes from prior assignments and integrate them into your future work.
It would be music to our ears if you also had:
• • At least one legal experience prior to this internship.
