Legal Assistant
The Brattle Group, a privately held, global economics consulting firm, is looking for a Legal Assistant to join our Chicago, IL office. This is not your typical law firm Legal Assistant position. Day-to-day work is varied and fast-paced, and it allows for ample learning opportunities related to legal concepts, the litigation process and business operations.
The Legal Assistant position includes substantial review of client and corporate vendor agreements, ad hoc legal research, drafting policies, and providing other legal-related support. What makes this position particularly exciting is the level of close cooperation with other members of the Legal Department and substantive interaction with the Firm’s domestic and international consulting and corporate services staff as well as external law firm personnel and client procurement departments. As the firm grows, this position offers increasing responsibility and challenging work to the right candidate.
Some of the day-to-day responsibilities of this role include:
- Assist with the drafting, review, and negotiation of a wide spectrum of consulting client and corporate vendor contracts (e.g. engagement letters, master services and subcontractor agreements, non-disclosure agreements, vendor and other corporate contracts)
