Global Financial Integrity - Summer 2011 Legal Intern

Global Financial Integrity (“GFI”) is seeking a Legal Intern (unpaid) to work approximately 25 hours per week with its Legal Counsel & Director of Government Affairs (“Legal Counsel”) in its Washington, DC office from June through August, dates negotiable. GFI is a non-profit research and advocacy organization dedicated to promoting national and multilateral policies, safeguards, and agreements aimed at curtailing the cross-border flow of illegal money in an effort to stem the flight of capital out of developing countries. www.gfip.org

The Legal Intern will work directly with our Legal Counsel, learning about and analyzing national, international and foreign laws in such areas as international taxation, corruption/bribery/kickbacks, money laundering, intra-company transfers of funds, and other related topics in order to create appropriate recommendations for legislative and international action in these areas. He/she can expect to be included in meetings with staffers on the Hill as well as other US government and international organizations and will work closely with staff at other NGOs interested in these topics.

Although we recognize that one person will not have experience in all of these areas, we are looking for someone who has taken courses in or has experience with international law and preferably some of the following:

• tax law
• business law
• banking/financial services
• corruption/money laundering/bribery


A positive attitude is a must and an interest in development issues would also be welcome.

To apply, please send a resume and cover letter, including proposed start and end dates, to:
Heather Lowe
Global Financial Integrity
1319 18th Street NW, Suite 200
Washington, DC 20036
