Saravia Law is a small but quickly growing law firm based in Arlington, MA. We specialize in immigration, family law, and estate planning. We are a queer and first-generation immigrant-owned firm with a collegial work environment and a diverse clientele.
We are looking for a Summer Legal Intern to assist with the day-to-day operations of the office and support our legal team throughout the summer. This is an in-person position focused primarily on administrative support, client communication, and helping the office run smoothly. While this position is intended as a summer internship, strong performers may be considered for continued employment as a Legal Assistant after the summer, depending on office needs and fit.
This internship is designed to provide hands-on experience in a fast-paced law office environment. Interns will gain exposure to client communication, legal office operations, case management systems, and the day-to-day workflow of a growing law firm. The position is well suited for students interested in law, administration, or gaining professional office experience. The ideal start date is early June, and we are looking for someone who can commit through late August or early September.
