Entry-level tax attorney job in Bay Area, California

Thanks to the reader who forwarded this job. It sounds like they want attorneys to work for free until you "make a mark on the firm"...

Small law firm with extremely busy practice seeks a new associate attorney who is willing to work hard to learn every aspect of the practice of law. Prior tax experience is not necessarily required, but some familiarity with tax law and/or tax preparation is a basic qualification.

Successful applicant will be assigned to a senior attorney with over 30 years experience in all aspects of tax law and will do everything that happens in a law office from legal research and writing to document organization to deliveries. Although many of the assigned projects will be for our tax cases, additional projects may also come from the family law and general practice areas handled by the firm. The practice of law can be tedious, boring and does not always require brilliance, just hard work. If you are too important to organize documents and assemble binders for an audit, don't apply. The successful applicant needs to have a willingness to perform all of the mundane tasks that need to be done in a law office, and always with perfection.

If you are ready, willing and anxious to learn how to solve client problems and if you love tax law, we welcome your application. If you think this job fits your vision for the future and you are willing to stay with it despite its mundane and sometimes boring nature, we will look forward to meeting you. Please send your resume and a cover letter explaining why this particular job suits you better than the other applicants. Please do not send a writing sample until you are asked to do so.

This is an internship job. Compensation: $3,875/month plus discretionary monthly bonuses once you make a mark on the firm.

Philadelphia attorney internship

INTERN WANTED FOR 4-6 MONTH INTERNSHIP

I am looking for an intern who is ready, willing and able to get trained to be a support person to a quick thinking, fast moving lawyer/entrepreneur. I have two businesses, a legal business and a coaching/personal development business, so someone who is committed to growing and developing themselves would be a good fit. Office Experience is a plus but what is even more important is the ability and desire to learn new things quickly and easily. I am ready to train and mentor you. I will give you the opportunity to be masterful at your work, to exceed your expectations of yourself and to have fun doing it.

What I need is someone who is smart, eager to learn, not afraid of constructive criticism and feedback (that's how you learn fast), someone who is interested in becoming outstanding at the things that they do. Someone who values accomplishment (a "git-er-done" person) and someone who believes that they can and will, with the proper mentoring, grow into a person who can easily get a full time position in a Center City law firm or start their own business. The ability to be organized and systematic is also very important, because multi-tasking is the norm. I need someone who can (or can quickly learn to) do a wide range of administrative, secretarial tasks. Also someone who is well organized and good with people is important.

Personal integrity is critical. You must, first of all, be punctual. You must really like to work and like to get results, and must be a results producer. And, I don't want squeamish people who are afraid to take things on, or who are constantly looking at the clock or e-mailing their friends while they are at work. I am interested for an intern who is going to come in when they say will everyday, excited to work and to learn, somebody who is proactive and organized, someone who is looking for a mentor to help them to really grow as a person and also to grow as a professional.

Things that are a plus (let me know if you have any of these):
o knows internet marketing (Wordpress, facebook, twitter, auto-responders, etc.),
o comfortable with editing/updating websites,
o internet research,
o knows and is good with Quickbooks,
o can design systems,
o can manage projects
o good with customers.

Duration of Internship: 16-24 weeks, starting in as soon as possible
Hours: 20-30 hour a week depending on your availability
A $100 month stipend will be provided.
Dress. Business Casual.

Sacramento employment law attorney job

Thanks to the reader who forwarded this...

****NOTE: THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL SALARIED LAW FIRM POSITION. PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO PRACTICE IN CALIFORNIA, CAN WORK INDEPENDENTLY (ON CONTINGENCY BASIS) AND YOU CAN NAVIGATE AN EMPLOYMENT CASE TO SETTLEMENT AND/OR TRIAL****

California-admitted attorney with 1 or more years of plaintiff's side employment litigation experience sought to draft & prep complaint containing California causes of action such as retaliatory termination/constructive quit, retaliation, employment discrimination, negligent supervision, etc. The requisite administrative claim was brought with the DFEH in mid-2010. The attorney/s should be able to work on contingency (e.g. positive settlement or trial result will allow provision for payment of attorney's fees) with $250-$700 advanceable (in instalments) based on performance. The case, while complex, is extremely well documented & organized because the plaintiff is an attorney. The plaintiff requires someone with a strategic vision who knows how to zealously advocate for an employment discrimination plaintiff.

The complaint arises out of the "constructive quit"/failure to accomodate/termination of an employee after the employee sought a medical leave and filed a grievance against her supervisor who blocked the leave (allowed per provisions in the union contract). The employer-a 501(c)(3) non-profit--owns property in San Francisco. The case involves one race (a minority) subordinating, isolating, calling out, and/or eliminating other minorities and whites. The harassing managers conducted secret interventions and mandatory trainings for staff where they passed out a handout which explained that those who questioned the authority of the dominant race should consider leaving the organization. Over 3 years, the campaign rid the agency of the five staff of other ethnicities. After plaintiff's removal, the agency became racially homogenous because all new hires around that time were of the dominant race, even though at least one hire was blatantly less qualified than the white applicant. The board of directors of the agency has not acted to resolve the matter, despite notice & a request to meet. A State Bar complaint has been filed (which will probably go nowhere) & an administrative complaint has been filed which could allow for mediation.

The civil complaint drafting will likely take place over the next 2 1/2 weeks. The attorney will be expected to devise case strategy, draft the complaint, assist with filing, represent during settlement/mediation talks, assist with drafting of press statements and/or interviews, and/or represent if the case goes to trial.

-Key: You must be able to dedicate yourself to working on the complaint exclusively from approx 2pm-8pm 4-6 days per week (weekday and/or weekend) over next 2 1/2 weeks

Requirements:
-Long time resident of Sacramento and/or demonstrated intent to stay in region with intent to stay with case over the long term
-Admitted to California Bar & in good standing
--Minimum of one year of hands-on litigation experience in employment discrimination law, preferably involving multiple negotiations and at least one trial on behalf of a plaintiff
-Able to take case on contingency basis, e.g. will be paid only if there is a successful settlement or trial outcome, although $250 to $700 is advanceable (in instalments) based on upon performance

Please provide cover letter, resume & two references to the address above. Explain how you qualify, your interest in plaintiff's side employment discrimination cases, and your availability.

Part-time bankruptcy attorney job near Detroit

Make an extra 60 bucks a week - huzzah!

Hi,

Small out of state law firm is looking for a 1099 Associate (0-3 yrs experience) to help us with our Michigan loan modification and bankruptcy clients.

The associate will work for 2 hours per week at $30 per hour on our MI modifications (calling clients, supervising our paralegals via the loan mod software, comfort client/hand holding, consult on a potential bankruptcy) and potentially and eventually part to full-time at $30 (negotiable) per hour on the bankruptcies, short sales (and potential litigation) that result. (We can help you with all of this stuff if you have no experience :D).

The bulk of the work will come when Bankruptcies need to be filed. The associate will probably have to work on a case load of 15 (maybe a lot more) STATEWIDE MI bankruptcies per year (and probably 10 short sales). The associate would then bill our firm for all hours spent working on the (modifications and) bankruptcies including the 341 meeting, hearings and finding other attorneys per diem (per day) to attend some of the hearings and meetings.

Around 50% of our modification clients need a bankruptcy because they are underwater and need to wipe away negative equity or because they simply want to walk away without a foreclosure on their credit report and/or deficiency judgment . I assume if we move into MI the ratio will at least be the same.

Awesome way to start your own law practice or increase existing volume.

Please mention if you are licensed in other states

THANKS :)
