What's happening at Vay
- First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.
- We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.
- We've completed 10's of thousands of trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!
- ...And soon we'll be expanding across the US & Europe
Why this role is exciting
This is not a role where you inherit a playbook. You write it.
As VP, Legal, you will be the most senior legal voice at Vay, reporting directly to the CEO and sitting at the table where consequential company decisions are made. You'll own the legal strategy that protects, enables, and accelerates the business as we scale across jurisdictions.
This is a broad role by design. We need a builder, not a specialist behind one legal domain. You'll work across corporate governance, fundraising, regulatory strategy, commercial contracts, data privacy, insurance, employment, litigation, compliance, IP, and expansion.
You'll also build the legal function as the company grows. The legal team today is lean, with Senior Legal Counsel support across the US and Germany. For the first 12–18 months, this will remain a hands-on player-coach role. You'll draft, review, negotiate, advise, unblock, and build the systems around you as the function matures.
If you're looking for a pure management role with a large team from day one, this probably isn't the one. If you want to build the legal foundation for a new mode of transportation, keep reading.
What you'll be driving
- Lead Vay's legal function across the US and Europe, setting the strategy, priorities, operating model, and ways of working as the company scales.
- Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO, leadership team, and board across legal, regulatory, commercial, risk, privacy, employment, corporate, and strategic matters.
- Own corporate governance and company structure, including board matters, subsidiary governance, equity management, option grants, 409A processes, and equity plan administration.
- Lead legal workstreams for fundraising, strategic transactions, partnerships, commercial alliances, M&A, due diligence, and future corporate development opportunities.
- Build and own Vay's regulatory strategy for Remote Driving across federal, state, municipal, US, European, and future market requirements.
- Own commercial legal work across vendors, suppliers, customers, partnerships, vehicle procurement, insurance, leasing, maintenance, and strategic agreements — including scalable templates, approval workflows, and legal playbooks.
- Lead Vay's data privacy and protection program across CCPA, GDPR, passenger data, vehicle telemetry, Remote Driving session data, operational recordings, employee data, and vendor data processing agreements.
- Design and manage Vay's insurance, risk, and incident response strategy, including commercial auto, general liability, D&O, E&O, cyber, product liability, safety reporting, litigation, government inquiries, and novel coverages required for Remote Driving operations.
- Advise across employment, IP, compliance, real estate, and outside counsel strategy, ensuring specialist support is used effectively where needed.
- Lead and develop the existing legal team, hire selectively as the function matures, manage outside counsel spend and performance, and set the standard for legal at Vay: fast, pragmatic, commercially minded, deeply embedded in the business, and focused on enabling smart decisions.
What are we looking for
- J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing.
- 10+ years of legal experience, with meaningful time spent both in a top-tier law firm and in-house at a high-growth technology, mobility, or regulated company.
- Strong generalist capability across corporate, commercial, regulatory, employment, privacy, insurance, compliance, IP, litigation, and strategic advisory work.
- Experience supporting fundraising rounds, growth equity transactions, venture financing, M&A, due diligence, or other strategic corporate transactions.
- Strong regulatory instincts, ideally gained in ambiguous or frontier sectors such as mobility, automotive, AV/AD, Remote Driving, drones, fintech, robotics, or another highly regulated technology environment.
- Excellent commercial judgment. You understand that "no" is not legal advice, and you know how to find the path to yes while protecting the company.
- Strong technical legal skills. You can draft precise contract language, analyze a novel regulatory issue, and advise the CEO on a board-level strategic question in the same afternoon.
- Clear, direct communication style. You translate complex legal topics into practical, actionable guidance for engineers, operators, product leaders, executives, and board members.
- Hands-on, autonomous, and pragmatic. You're comfortable with ambiguity, able to prioritise across competing demands, and ready to take ownership without waiting for structure to appear.

- Current enrollment in an ABA-accredited law school recognized by the Nevada State Bar
- Completion of at least one year of law school coursework before the internship start date

Legal Intern Jobs in Nevada: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a legal intern in Nevada?
To work as a legal intern in Nevada, you must be enrolled in an ABA-accredited law school and comply with the Nevada Supreme Court's law student practice rules, which allow supervised practice under a licensed Nevada attorney. Most positions require completion of your first year of law school. Candidates apply directly to law firms, state agencies, or corporate legal departments, and the supervising attorney files the required certification with the Nevada State Bar.
Which companies hire legal interns in Nevada?
Companies currently hiring legal interns in Nevada include Jobot, Hooks Meng & Clement, and Vay, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Nevada's gaming, hospitality, and real estate sectors mean that large resort corporations and regional commercial real estate firms are among the most consistent sources of legal intern openings in the state.
Which Nevada cities have the most legal intern jobs?
Las Vegas, Reno, and Carson City have the most legal intern openings in Nevada. Las Vegas and Henderson drive the bulk of demand because of the concentration of major gaming corporations, real estate developers, and state regulatory agencies headquartered in the greater Clark County area, while Reno's growing technology and financial services sectors support a smaller but steady pipeline of legal intern roles.
Are there remote legal intern jobs in Nevada?
Yes, but they're relatively limited. Legal intern work often requires in-person court observation, document review, and direct attorney supervision under Nevada's student practice rules, which constrains full remote arrangements. About 30% of legal intern openings tied to Nevada are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with legal research, drafting, and document review tasks being the functions most commonly performed off-site.
How can I get hired as a legal intern in Nevada with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to Nevada state agency programs, which are specifically structured for first-year law students with no prior legal work history. The Nevada Attorney General's Office, Clark County District Attorney, and Washoe County public defender run intern cohorts that prioritize candidates newer to practice. Building a writing sample through a law school clinic or moot court and obtaining your law student practice certification early gives you a concrete edge over candidates who apply without it.
Where can I find and apply to legal intern jobs in Nevada?
You can find and apply to legal intern jobs in Nevada on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, and smaller Nevada markets. Find roles that fit your practice area interests and experience level and apply directly to each employer through the listing.
