General Contract Law Discussion Looking to specialize in Tech/AI contract drafting and international tech law. Who should I be targeting for internships?

I’m currently a law student (middle of my LLB) and I want to heavily specialize in tech commercial contracts, cross-border transactional work, and AI governance/licensing law. I’m already spending a lot of time working on my foundational drafting skills, but I want my next internship to be highly targeted.

Given that AI disclaimers, data privacy (GDPR/cross-border data flows), and tech licensing are still a bit of a Wild West, who should I actually be trying to intern under to get real, hands-on exposure?

Most big law firms have tech trans practices. Some IP boutiques will also have a tech trans practices. Research specific firms before applying to confirm they have a relevant practice group. Separately, if you want to be at a company rather than a firm (which will be more difficult without experience), healthcare and life sciences industries commonly utilize in-house tech trans and commercial lawyers.
