Ellis Law Group, which has been recognized by Chambers as among the best small and mid-sized NY firms for its corporate practice, has a need for a junior corporate associate with at least two years of law firm experience in a transactional practice area.
The firm has a robust general corporate/transactional practice covering a broad spectrum of industries, with an emphasis on the representation of cutting-edge emerging companies, founders and VC investors. ELG is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of client service, while providing a positive, rewarding work environment for attorneys and staff. We have a deep and longstanding commitment to fostering an environment of diversity, equity and inclusion.
The corporate associate position is an excellent opportunity to work as part of a boutique firm boasting a talented, congenial team of attorneys. Although the firm has offices in Midtown Manhattan, the firm possesses a nationwide practice. The associate can work in a fully remote (US-based) manner, allowing for additional work schedule flexibility, and candidates do not need to reside or be admitted in New York.
This position is part-time, and on a project-by-project basis. Some weeks the associate will be busy and have a number of billable hours, but in other weeks the workflow will be more limited. For that reason, this position would be a good fit for someone who a) wants a flexible schedule, b) is looking to supplement other projects, or c) is returning to law firm practice.
Compensation will be between $75 and $100 per hour. The successful candidate would be listed on the firm's website as an associate.
Interested candidates with these qualifications should submit a cover letter and resume as soon as possible. No phone calls or direct emails, please.
