- Immigration Law: Navigating the compliance and filing requirements for our international workforce and Startup Lab associates, specifically focusing on F-1 student visas, CPT, and OPT, as well as, H-1B and related visas.
- Employment & International Operations: Researching and advising on employment statutes and operational risks across our Chicago, Hyderabad, and London offices.
- Corporate Governance: Assisting with internal policies, risk management, and the legal frameworks required for rapid scale.

- Schedule: Start date: 1 June 2026; End date: 28 August 2026. Onsite.
