Description of Position: NHL Enterprises, L.P. is the licensing and marketing arm of the National Hockey League and we are currently recruiting New York-area 1Ls for our Legal Internship program. Our Legal Department works closely with all the business units of NHL Enterprises in connection with their wide-ranging activities, including consumer products licensing, special events, sponsorships, sweepstakes and Internet activities. Because of the small size of the NHL Enterprises Legal Department, our interns work closely with our attorneys, playing a vital and active role in a wide range of projects and matters. The internship provides hands-on experience in a diverse legal practice, including in the areas of intellectual property, contracts and litigation, among others. In the past, our interns have handled trademark and copyright enforcement matters, drafted license agreements, reviewed sweepstakes rules, prepared briefs to be filed with the U.S Trademark Office, and researched and cleared uses of historical NHL team logos and other properties. Our interns are also given the chance to work directly with various NHL Enterprises business people and to participate in meetings, providing even greater exposure to the many legal and business issues in which the NHL Enterprises Legal Department is involved. The paid internship lasts for one full calendar year ending approximately on the one year anniversary of your start date with us. Our interns work a minimum of fifteen hours a week during the school year, with appropriate time off for exams and breaks, and full-time during the summer. We anticipate hiring two interns for our 2010 class. If you are interested in applying for a position in this exciting program, please e-mail a letter of interest and resume to jschiffman@nhl.com. We will be accepting applications through January 29, 2010.
The candidates will start approximately March 15, 2010
