Internship Opportunity at Graphic Trades Private Limited, Mumbai

About the Organisation

Graphic Trades Private Limited (GTPL) is a 30-year-old Pan-India IT infrastructure and system integration company that delivers end to end IT solution service, builds mission-critical technology systems for the Government of India and state governments across Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, Jammu & Kashmir, and beyond. From election webcasting infrastructure and disaster management platforms to campus networking for NITs and surveillance systems for state legislatures — GTPL sits at the intersection of technology and governance at scale.

Behind every one of those projects sits a contract. And a contract in government infrastructure is not a formality — it is the difference between a payment received and a penalty enforced, between a dispute resolved and a liability that compounds. Penalty clauses tied to deadlines that cannot move.

Performance bank guarantees. Liquidated damages. Multi-state jurisdictional questions. Multi-crore liability on the line. Someone had to read every word, flag what mattered, and make sure the terms held. That work is what you would be doing here — and it is as real as it gets.

Eligibility

• 4^th/ 5^th year student of a 5-year integrated law programme (B.A. LL.B. / B.B.A. LL.B. or equivalent) OR 2^nd/ 3^rd year student of a 3-year law course OR a Law Graduate (3-year or 5-year LL.B.)
• Sound knowledge of Contract Law, Civil Law, and the Indian Contract Act, 1872
• Familiarity with the Companies Act, 2013
• Strong legal drafting and written communication skills in English
• Working knowledge of GST and income tax provisions is an advantage
• Prior internship experience in litigation, a law firm, or a corporate legal team is preferred but not mandatory
• Must be willing to work, eager to learn, and comfortable with document-intensive, detail-oriented work
