Marketing & Business Development Internship

Fisher Phillips, a premier international labor and employment law firm, is hiring a Marketing & Business Development Intern to join our team. In this essential role, you will support a variety of marketing and business development activities while gaining broad exposure to the firm’s operations and strategic initiatives. This 10-week summer internship reports to the Marketing Director/CMO and is open to candidates in Tampa, Charlotte, Raleigh, or Atlanta. The role is fully remote with some travel and requires a 40-hour workweek.

About the Internship

Fisher Phillips offers a highly structured, hands-on Marketing & Business Development Internship designed to provide graduate and undergraduate students with comprehensive exposure to legal marketing, business development strategy, and professional services communications.

This is not a coffee and copies internship. You will work on real projects, collaborate directly with senior marketing professionals and department leadership, and gain experience across eight specialized teams that collectively drive the firm's growth, brand, and market position.

Interns rotate through two primary team tracks — a Weekly Track (one-week deep dives) and a Bi-Weekly Track (two-week immersions for more complex disciplines) to ensure both breadth and depth of experience. At the conclusion of the program, interns present a capstone project to team leadership.

This internship is designed to serve as a pipeline for full-time roles in legal marketing and professional services business development. High-performing interns are given priority consideration for full-time positions upon graduation.

What You'll Experience

Over the course of your internship, you will gain hands-on experience in:

• Developing and executing marketing strategies for a large professional services firm
• Supporting business development activities including pitch preparation and client research
• Writing and editing client-facing communications and content
