Ever imagined saying, "I helped launch the future of transportation"?
We're rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.
We're live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you'll feel right at home here.

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.

Legal Intern Jobs in Las Vegas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a legal intern job in Las Vegas?
Focus your search on the employer types that hire most in Las Vegas: large gaming and resort corporations with in-house legal teams, criminal defense and personal injury firms near the Regional Justice Center, and real estate and land-use practices serving the city's construction and development sector. Candidates who can demonstrate familiarity with Nevada civil procedure, have completed relevant coursework, or hold a paralegal certificate from UNLV gain a clear edge in this market.
Which companies hire legal interns in Las Vegas?
Companies currently hiring legal interns in Las Vegas include Jobot, Vay, and LegalMatch, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Las Vegas employers range from the in-house legal departments of major resort and gaming operators to regional litigation boutiques and multi-office law firms with a strong Nevada presence.
Are there remote legal intern jobs in Las Vegas?
Yes, though remote availability is limited for legal interns because most roles involve court filings, in-person client contact, or document review that requires on-site access. About 30% of legal intern openings tied to Las Vegas are remote or hybrid as of July 2026. Research, drafting, and document review tasks tied to corporate and transactional practices are the most likely to allow remote or hybrid scheduling locally.
How can I get a legal intern job in Las Vegas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Las Vegas is through UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law's externship and clinic programs, which place students directly with local courts, the Clark County District Attorney, and the Nevada Legal Services office. Volunteer work with the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada or a summer clerkship at a downtown criminal defense firm also builds the local courtroom exposure that Las Vegas employers look for in entry-level candidates.
Which industries hire the most legal interns in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas legal intern roles concentrate in Staffing & Recruiting, Education, and Law & Legal Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. The city's economy, anchored by hospitality, real estate development, and entertainment licensing, creates consistent demand for legal support across those sectors in a way that distinguishes Las Vegas from other Nevada markets.
