Our Campus program has been recognized with awards like WayUp’s Top 100 Internship Programs and RippleMatch’s Campus Forward Award. Why the accolades? It’s easy. We quickly immerse our interns in meaningful work and projects that deliver tangible business impact. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to network with V Teamers across the globe, find mentors, and establish meaningful friendships that could last a lifetime. Start here and go anywhere, with opportunities across the business. When students like you join the V Team, our network becomes even stronger.

As an Intern with Verizon’s Legal Internship Forward Track Program (VZ LIFT) for 1Ls, you’ll be working with some of the best attorneys in the legal field. This program introduces interns to the complex nature of in-house legal practice at Verizon.

Right from the start you’ll contribute to meaningful projects in our in-house legal department and will be exposed to a variety of work assignments from different practice areas. Additionally, you will be able to participate in many different kinds of learning experiences (such as executive sessions with legal and business leaders in the company, legal training workshops, practice area meetings, and collaborations with some of our partner law firms). What you learn during this internship will help you grow professionally and personally. After the internship is successfully completed, you’ll become part of our Intern Alumni Network, with the opportunity to remain connected with your assigned mentor, exposure to top law firms, and inclusion in our annual alumni events.

You must be in good academic standing to be considered.

In this hybrid internship, you’ll have a defined work location that includes work from home and assigned office days set by your manager. This hybrid internship will be based out of Irving, TX.

You’re a motivated self-starter. Never satisfied with the status quo, you’re always trying to beat a personal best. You thrive in a fast-paced environment where new challenges come up every day.

You want to make an impact in your community and your company.

• Willingness to work virtually and in-person, and to attend company events.
