Legal & Compliance Fellow
Full-time
VFAxAPP is seeking a Legal & Compliance Intern to establish the legal infrastructure required for enterprise sales, international expansion, and investor fundraising. You will standardize and operationalize core legal foundations, working directly with the founder and external legal counsel to ensure VFAxAPP scales safely across multiple markets.

- Build a standard contract suite (templates, workflow, execution).
- Ensure data privacy & compliance readiness (research, document, maintain).
- Coordinate corporate governance + IP protection.
- Maintain an investor-grade data room (organize, update, audit).
- Provide cross-functional legal operations support.
- Conduct legal research & strategic analysis.
Requirements
- You thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and enjoy building from the ground up.
- You have a strong interest in legal research, contract drafting, and compliance.
- You are detail-oriented and organized, with excellent communication skills.
- You are proactive and take initiative to identify and solve problems.
