Reza Yassi wants you to change the way you think about hiring and legal internships. His company, Attornneed, connects law firms and law students with assignment-based, virtual internships.
As a 2L, Reza was contacted by a friend from law school and asked to complete a research assignment. Reza took the idea and used it in the Hofstra Venture Capitalist Challenge and found that Attornneed was a viable idea.
In his 3L year, Reza had friends and classmates join Attornneed and get connected with virtual internships of at least eight hours. Small and mid-sized law firms loved the concept and law students enjoy the chance to experience different practice areas without a semester-long commitment.
Attornneed is unlike many other virtual internships because the company is established; having the experience of providing virtual internships before this was trendy and Attornneed looks for reasons to say ‘Yes’ to an intern.
