The posting

About Hook

Hook is a social music platform, backed by top-tier investors, building the next generation of music discovery, fan expression, and creator growth. We turn the songs people love into sounds they can play with — enabling fans and creators to reimagine music through intuitive, remix-friendly experiences with zero learning curve. By partnering directly with artists, labels, and rightsholders, Hook ensures music is discovered, shared, and expressed in ways that respect and reward the people behind it. At Hook, music isn’t just consumed — it’s experienced, expressed, and made personal.

Role Overview

As a Legal Affairs Intern at Hook, you will work directly alongside the General Counsel and gain hands-on exposure to virtually every facet of an in-house legal practice. From day-to-day operational documents to complex entertainment and IP transactions, you will be immersed in the real legal affairs work of a fast-moving early-stage music and consumer tech startup. This role is ideal for a law student who wants to understand what it truly means to serve as General Counsel—not just in theory, but in practice.

You will work cross-functionally within the company, learning from and collaborating with immensely talented professionals within Hook’s content, engineering, marketing, operations, and business development teams. You will have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the company and to see your ideas and work come to fruition.

This role demands excellent writing and communication skills, an eye for detail, passion for technology and the law, a self-driven ability to learn quickly and most importantly: an insatiable curiosity.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
