Law

ELI works with several law firms in Buenos Aires to create internships for law students to help them gain experience working in Buenos Aires and insight into the Argentine legal system. The firms specialize in the following areas: litigation, business consulting, environmental law, corporate law, intellectual property law, international tax law, commercial law, and dispute resolution. Interns conduct research, translation projects, and document preparation.

Here, one of our previous interns describes her experience in Argentina:

"When asked about something directly, the attorneys would be very willing to answer questions and help out. When we went to the courts, a usually busy attorney sat with us and explained the mechanics of the legal system.  It was awesome, but you have to really be persistent to get certain experiences.  This is very much an internship for a self starter who speaks fluent or at least advanced Spanish."

Interns in this program must have an advanced level of Spanish knowledge and commit to at least eight weeks with the program.
