Adobe Legal Internships An experience with the Adobe Legal & Government Relations Team

Changing the world through digital experiences

We've been in the neighborhood for more than 30 years, and we're still pushing the envelope in creativity, technology and innovation. Only Adobe gives everyone — from emerging artists to global brands — everything they need to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences.

You know us as the company that makes tools creatives can’t live without – like Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere. We're mission critical to the world’s largest brands, as they market their products and services to their customers with our digital marketing solutions. You also know us as the company that created PDF, the single most used document format in the world. We pushed all this to the cloud, and haven't looked back since.
