American Credit Acceptance is seeking a highly organized Legal Operations Intern to join our Legal Department during Summer 2026. As an intern focusing on commercial agreements, you will be at the heart of how our business operates. This role offers a unique opportunity to support the review, drafting, and refinement of contracts and commercial terms that shape our partnerships and internal processes.
You will work in a collaborative corporate setting, gaining hands-on experience with real negotiations and actual contracts rather than hypothetical case studies. The position is designed for those who enjoy commercial transactions, contract law, legal operations, and process improvement. You will have the chance to contribute ideas that improve how we manage and execute agreements while receiving direct mentorship from experienced in-house counsel invested in your growth.
Your work will involve assisting in the creation of a Center of Excellence for contract terms and best practices within a template library. You will maintain and organize our contract management system to ensure documents are up-to-date and accessible. Additionally, you will conduct legal and regulatory research on financial services matters, providing summaries and reports to legal leadership. The role requires collaborating with internal stakeholders to gather information and clarify contract terms, as well as participating in team meetings to drive process improvement initiatives for contract workflows.
