Senior Paralegal (Corporate & Securities)

New York, New York Job Description Position Summary The Corporate and Securities practice group is requesting the addition of a permanent senior paralegal to support the growth and expanded resource needs of the business unit. The New York office has recently onboarded four new attorneys, with additional lateral candidates actively in the pipeline. This growth in attorney headcount has created a level of transactional demand that exceeds the capacity of the current paralegal bench in New York, and this position is expected to be fully utilized both by the New York office and across the broader C&S business unit.
