2026 Legal Intern (1L Summer Associate) - United States

Job Description

Uber is reimagining the way the world moves for the better, and Uber's Legal Team is proud to be an integral part of that change. Our vision is for Uber to be the industry leader where inclusion drives innovation, and our platform empowers people to move ahead in life. Legal works hand-in-hand with teams and leaders across the company, serving as expert business partners and trusted counselors.

Our legal team covers a wide range of legal practice areas including litigation, regulatory, labor & employment, intellectual property, marketing & advertising, product counseling, commercial transactions, safety, antitrust, corporate, payments, insurance, privacy & cybersecurity, compliance, and government investigations.

About the Role:

As part of Uber's 2026 1L summer associate program, you'll have the unique opportunity to gain exposure to both our in-house legal team and one of our partnering law firms. You will engage in a broad spectrum of legal work with our in-house team and receive professional training, mentorship, and meaningful networking opportunities.

The structure of the law firm component will vary by partnering firm. Following your firm placement, you will spend 4-5 weeks with Uber's in-house team. For both portions of the program, you will be working out of our San Francisco offices.

Our 2026 partnering law firms:

• Covington & Burling LLP
• Kirkland & Ellis LLP
• Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

• Develop an understanding of the type of legal work performed and legal specialities available at one of our partnering law firms as part of their 2026 summer associate class.
• As a member of the in-house Uber legal team, work cross-functionally with subject matter experts across a wide range of legal practice areas.
• Learn about how a tech company operates, the role of an in-house attorney, and how in-house and external legal counsel work together to achieve business goals.

• Resume
• Cover Letter:
• Note that there will only be 1 field to upload materials on this platform. Please merge your resume and cover letter into one document so you can submit both at the same time.
• Your cover letter should be a 1-2 page personal statement that includes:
• Why you are interested in this role and what makes you an outstanding candidate.
• Which legal practice areas are of most interest to you.
• One of Uber's core values is that great minds don't think alike. We believe the strongest teams include people with a spectrum of experiences.

• Note that we will also require a law school transcript with first semester grades, once available. Candidates who advance in the interview process will also be asked to provide a legal writing sample, and may be asked for additional materials from our partnering law firms.
• Pro Tip: Submit your application as soon as possible - applications could close earlier due to applicant volume. We understand first semester grades will not yet be available at the time of submission; however, interested candidates are highly encouraged to submit their application materials early on, and submit their grades separately once available.

• Currently enrolled full-time in an ABA-accredited law school as a first year law student.
• This role is contingent upon your ability to obtain and maintain U.S. work authorization.

• Highly collaborative, inquisitive, with a solutions-based approach.

• Proven leadership skills.
• Demonstrated commitment to community involvement or inclusive practices.
• Embody the highest standards of integrity, ethics, and accountability.
• Enthusiastic about Uber!
