  • Work in a fast-paced environment while maintaining multiple projects and responsibilities

Must Haves:

  • 2-4+ years of comparable law firm experience
  • Excellent negotiation and communications skills
  • Analytical ability
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently, but knowing when to collaborate
  • J.D. and current license to practice law
  • In-depth understanding of how legal issues affect organizations
  • Ability to develop legal strategy and objectives
  • Ability to anticipate legal issues or risks and to “see around the corner”
  • Self-motivation and direction; ability to collaborate is a must
  • Strong intellectual curiosity and a desire to learn how to help others solve problems
  • Flexibility and willingness to do what is needed to get great work done
  • A natural inclination to work within a culture that is fast-paced and dynamic
