Legal Intern Cover Letter Example

Greetings!

This letter is to express my deep interest in the Summer Legal Intern job at Revas & Co., Inc. which has been posted and advertised online on LinkedIn.com. I believe that I am fully qualified and possess everything needed for this position, and therefore I am submitting my application today.

My name is Rafaela Ocampo and currently, I am a third-year Legal Studies student at the well-known University of California, Berkeley in the United States. There, I've had a chance to learn and gain expertise in different areas of law and, moreover, had a great opportunity to see what's it like to work in this industry. Not only I have achieved exceptional academic results (3.98 GPA) but I also participated in multiple clubs and societies throughout the years. For example, at TEDx Club, I functioned as an Event Manager which means I was responsible for all aspects of planning, management, and coordination of society events. This experience helped me to significantly improve my time management skills and leadership abilities.

Besides academia, I also worked as a Legal Intern at RealNetworks, Inc. in Los Angeles, CA, where I was in charge of performing in-depth legal research, preparing and reviewing licenses and agreements, and communicating with clients. Moreover, I assisted in the completion of patent applications and maintained all clients' legal documents and files. I am a great team player but able to work independently as well. What's more, I have excellent communication skills, both oral and written, and am a native Spanish speaker with proficiency in English and French, and basic knowledge of Japanese. Finally, I am very proud of my well-developed critical thinking skills and the important ability to solve complex problems.

I believe that my background suits your requirements perfectly and I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

Rafaela Ocampo
