We are looking for a combination super paralegal, assistant office manager and all-purpose admin aide.
The ideal candidate could be pursuing a career in the arts or even be considering applying to law school but first planning to spend some time in New York City pursuing other interests (fame and fortune?).
This position would integrate you into all aspects of our law practice and offers an alternative to large firm paralegal work. Smarts and flexibility are our principal needs.
Our attorneys are large law firm alumnae/i. We roll up our sleeves, work hard and get great satisfaction from our work. We focus on commercial cases and counseling in complex business and financial matters. We represent parties in high-stakes litigation and rely on all members of our team to produce at the highest level. Some of our recent work: We have represented 344 former Lehman Brothers executives who retired years ago in their 12+-year effort to recover $270 million in pensions they purchased in the 1980s (blocked by the Lehman bankruptcy since 2008). The firm represents the Duke Ellington Estate in ongoing efforts to collect unpaid royalties, generally manage the Estate’s intellectual property rights and licensing projects, work toward a feature film to be made about Duke’s life and assist the ongoing operation of the Duke Ellington Orchestra which continues today under the overall direction of Duke’s grandson. In an interesting departure from the mainstream, the firm has been representing a client seeking to collect a multi-million dollar judgment from Martin Shkreli, the notorious Pharma Bro. We thrive on variety.
The following skills are essential (or at least helpful):
– a knack for computer problem solving
– proficiency with Word software
– an excellent sense of humor
– the ability to work under pressure and meet or beat deadlines, while retaining your excellent sense of humor
– and –
– an excellent sense of humor
This position is for in-office work. It is a full-time position, but with room for some degree of flexibility, especially to accommodate occasional needs for time during the business day to continue in the pursuit of other serious pursuits.
This job is by no means for everyone but is ideal for a very intelligent person with good skills and great common sense. The environment is conducive to giving great responsibility to those who are up to the task.
