Program components may include experience in day-to-day responsibilities related to their assigned team, exposure to broader business functions, a structured schedule of professional development sessions, opportunities to engage with members of the Executive Leadership Team, discussions with senior leaders regarding career paths and Huntington’s business areas, a team project focused on applying Huntington’s innovation framework to a business-relevant problem, and participation in volunteer activities and internal events aligned with Huntington’s culture. The employment law team is looking for a 3L to assist with legal research, preparing memos, reviewing and interpreting legal documents while supporting attorneys and paralegals as needed. The Legal Intern will have the opportunity to observe various legal proceedings, including court arguments, depositions, mediations, and client meetings.
