About the role

HG Law LLP in San Jose and New York City invites rising seniors and Master’s students to join as Technical Advisor Interns for the June–August 2027 term. This full-time, in-office internship provides hands-on experience in patent law while collaborating with experienced attorneys on client matters. You will meet inventors, draft and prosecute patent applications, and conduct competitive landscape analyses as you develop your IP career.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
