Our mission is to democratize financial services to ensure that everyone, regardless of background or economic standing, has access to affordable, convenient, and secure products and services to take control of their financial lives.

PayPal is one of the leading global payments companies in the world. PayPal's innovative technology and approaches to payments, coupled with an increasingly complex and demanding legal and regulatory environment, provide robust career opportunities for attorneys motivated and driven by creative clients and a fast paced, cutting edge culture.

PayPal is seeking a high caliber and energetic Law Student to join our 2022 Summer Internship Program.

The duration of our 2022 Summer Internship Program is anticipated to be approximately 10 weeks. Participants are paid a competitive salary. The internship will be fully remote.

Following your summer experience, you should expect to have an awareness of the complexities and challenges of working within the in-house legal department of a global organization.
