Conflicts Attorney

3 months ago

New York, United States SourcePro Search, LLC Full time

We have a great opportunity for an experienced Conflicts Attorney with our top rated law firm client in their New York office.

What You'll Do:

In consultation with and under the supervision and direction of the Conflicts Counsel, the Conflicts Attorney, on a Firmwide basis, is primarily responsible for substantively reviewing and identifying and resolving all potential/actual conflicts associated with new client mandates, new matters for existing clients, prospective/preliminary conflicts search requests and lateral hire submissions. Additionally, the Conflicts Attorney will be required to assist, on a routine basis, in the substantive review of generated due diligence reports on new client parties with respect to new client engagements or co-client parties pertaining to new retentions for existing clients. In conjunction with the above-mentioned responsibilities, and, on an as needed and/or requested basis by the Conflict Counsel or the Firm's General Counsel, the Conflicts Attorney will be expected to assist with the drafting of conflict waivers, informational walls and/or engagement letters. Similarly, and upon request from the Conflict Counsel or General Counsel, the Conflicts Attorney will also be expected to assist with the substantive review of other client engagement terms as found in Outside Counsel Guidelines/Policies, Master Service Agreements, RFPs and the like.

  • Substantively review and analyze conflicts of interest ("COI") reports generated by the Conflicts Analyst(s) within Upfront (a conflicts of interest management system/platform in the Fulcrum GT™ business management system) pertaining/annexed to new client/matter submissions or with respect to those generated as part of preliminary conflicts checks by either the Conflicts Analyst(s) or the Word Processing department.
  • Identify potentially conflicting engagements within COI reports attached to electronic submissions in Upfront, assist requesting attorneys/partners in addressing and resolving any such technical and/or business conflicts and ultimately sign off on/approve these submissions on conflicts in Upfront.
  • Draft, if necessary, synopses outlining the potential conflicts and/or client-relations issues associated with preliminary conflicts checks and either follow up with affected partners to assist in resolving the flagged issues or otherwise advise the requesting attorneys as to which affected lawyers/partners they need to contact to sort out these potential conflicts.
  • Review new business intake forms and, in particular, flag and resolve any conflicts-related errors/omissions, including, but not limited to, missing party information, misclassified party roles/relationships, missing documentation (e.g. engagement letters, waivers, associated/corresponding preliminary checks etc.) and incomplete matter names/matter descriptions.
  • Review client name change requests, reopening of closed matter requests and other electronic submissions that may require substantive review and clearance of conflicts.
  • Draft waivers and/or screens, as needed, to address and cure technical conflicts and/or ensure compliance with informational wall/restriction to file access requirements.
  • Perform corporate family tree research (via internal electronic corporate research tools such as D&B and LexisNexis and/or publicly available print or online information/resources) as is necessary to analyze and clear any potential conflicts associated with organizational clients and/or adverse entities.
  • Research various other print and online resources to help identify and resolve potential conflicts.
  • Assist in reviewing and analyzing lateral hire questionnaires (relating to partner, counsel associate and/or non-lawyer candidates), including corresponding COI reports on the conflict and adverse party information related to the candidate's prior, portable or prospective engagements, and identifying and clearing all potential conflicts (including with waivers and/or screens as may be appropriate) associated therewith prior to the onboarding of lateral candidates.
  • Substantively review and analyze flagged issues/hits within due diligence reports (on new clients) generated by the Conflicts Analyst(s) via World Check and Clear and opine on whether any of the flagged hits are disqualifying with regard to the proposed new client engagements.
  • Draft, upon request, engagement letters and review engagement letters attached to electronic submissions to ensure that they track with and do not otherwise materially deviate from our standard form of engagement letters (and, if so, flag and escalate such issues for further review by the Conflicts Counsel and/or General Counsel).
  • Assist the General Counsel, Chief Operating Officer ("COO") and/or Conflicts Counsel, on an as requested basis, with the review and analysis of various client engagement terms as found in Outside Counsel Guidelines/Policies, Master Service Agreements, RFPs and the like.
  • Work closely with the Conflicts Counsel and General Counsel to field lawyer questions and address nuanced issues that relate to legal conflicts, ethics and professional responsibility.
  • Keep abreast of laws/rules and/or caselaw pertaining to conflicts of interest with respect to each jurisdiction in which the Firm maintains offices, namely NY and DC.
  • Document, track and keep a record of all assigned/claimed and subsequently cleared/approved conflicts clearance projects/matters and create a record of clearance protocols applicable to repeat engagements of the same type.
  • Track and document the receipt of all executed engagement letters, advance waivers and outside counsel policies/guidelines on an as needed and requested basis.
  • Help educate staff and requesting lawyers on the conflict clearance and new business intake processes generally and with respect to specific submissions as well as recommend ways to streamline these processes and/or otherwise actively participate in group discussions pertaining to exploring ways to effectuate same.
  • Perform other miscellaneous conflicts-related tasks as may be assigned by the Conflicts Counsel, COO and/or General Counsel.
What You'll Bring:
  • A 4-year degree from an accredited college or university and a Juris Doctor or equivalent.
  • Admission to and an active member in good standing with the NY Bar.
  • A minimum of 3 years of conflicts resolution/legal ethics experience gained as a Conflicts Attorney, preferably with another comparable sophisticated mid-size or large law firm.

  • Experience with automated/electronic conflicts of interest management/checking systems (e.g. Upfront, Intapp, E-Valuate etc.) as typically employed by sophisticated law firms with risk/compliance/conflicts departments.
  • Experience with Upfront (a conflicts of interest management system/platform in the Fulcrum GT™ business management system) is preferred, but not required.
  • Experience with conducting corporate family tree research via Internet and print sources as well as through various online company research outlets/tools, including, but not limited to Dun & Bradstreet/D&B Hoovers, Thomson One, Bloomberg Business, etc. is preferred.

  • Strong written skills to effectively communicate with Firm attorneys and their assistants and various Firm departments via email communication.
  • Strong computer, research, analytical and proofreading skills.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills and exceptional attention to detail.
