We’re looking for a legal student assistant to join our legal department in Copenhagen, working 15 hours per week as part of our legal team.

What you’ll be doing

As a student assistant, you’ll support our legal team with a mix of administrative and legal tasks, including:

  • IP (e.g. trademark protection), licensing, negotiations and actor agreements – assisting with contract review, drafting, and organization for external talent, including voice actors and music artists
  • Contract management – handling signatures, archiving documents, maintaining legal records, and otherwise assisting with documentation
  • Regulatory and compliance reviews – conducting legal assessments and providing recommendations on how regulations apply to our projects
  • Internal legal communication – translating legal issues into clear guidance for non-legal teams
  • Ad hoc legal support – taking on various tasks as needed, giving you broad exposure to legal work in the industry

Who you are

  • Currently studying law in Denmark – you’re in the early years of your law degree (ideally in your first or second year of a bachelor’s) at a Danish university
  • Interested in IP, contracts, negotiation, and legal administration – you have an interest in business law, contract law, and intellectual property
  • Fluent in English – you are eager to develop your ability to communicate legal matters clearly, both in writing and speaking
  • Organized and detail-oriented – you have a structured approach to handling administrative and legal tasks

Why join IO Interactive

At IO Interactive, we don’t just make games – we create entertainment built on strong IP such as our Hitman-franchise and cutting-edge technology. As an independent game studio with offices in Copenhagen, Malmö, Barcelona, Brighton, and Istanbul, we handle our own publishing, contracts, and business operations, giving our legal team direct influence on how we grow.

The games industry is one of the most dynamic and legally complex creative industries, offering a unique chance to work with intellectual property, contracts, and talent agreements in an interactive medium. If you're interested in IP law, contract negotiations, and legal administration, this is a great opportunity to gain practical experience in a truly global industry.

This position is based at our Copenhagen office. If this sounds like the right fit for you, we’d love to hear from you.
