We are looking for a current associate (any practice area) or conflicts attorney with at least five (5) years of experience working for a peer law firm. This attorney will report directly to the Chief of Global Conflicts & Legal Ethics and be responsible for managing the conflicts process for new clients, new business matters, and new incoming lateral associates and partners. For confidential consideration, submit your resume to jobs@kinneyrecruiting.com or ny@kinneyrecruiting.com.
