The department serves as MaineHealth’s primary legal services provider, with the exception of certain designated matters which are delegated to outside counsel. The team regularly does research and drafting, advising and strategy, and collaborates with all departments across the system.

Interns should expect to do research on a wide variety of novel issues, draft memos, attend various department meetings and join attorneys at client meetings.
