With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we’re proud to support more than 400,000 small businesses across the country, and we’re building a workplace that represents and celebrates the customers we serve.

About the Role:
This isn't your typical legal internship. Gusto’s Legal & Compliance (L&C) team is redefining what in-house legal looks like in the AI era and we’re looking for a Legal Intern who’s ready to help us build the future.
Over the course of a 12-week hybrid summer program, you’ll be embedded in a team that’s not just providing legal support. We’re pioneering new ways of working that blend legal excellence with cutting-edge technology. You’ll gain hands-on experience across multiple disciplines from privacy and product counseling to commercial transactions and corporate governance while also exploring how AI and automation are transforming legal practice.
If you’re a 1L who’s intellectually curious, tech-savvy, and driven to experiment at the intersection of law, innovation, and business, this is your opportunity to see what a modern legal career can look like.
About the Team:
Legal & Compliance partners with teams across Gusto to enable innovation, drive responsible growth, and guide Gusto through a dynamic regulatory environment. We’re builders at heart using creativity, technology, and deep legal judgment to help shape how legal teams can operate smarter, faster, and more collaboratively. Every team member is an owner, and every project is a chance to make a lasting impact.
