Its clientele includes Fortune 100 corporations, technology firms, large private entities, emerging businesses, Native American tribes, and investors in venture capital and private equity. The American Lawyer has honored Jenner & Block as the leading pro bono firm in the United States multiple times.

POSITION SUMMARY

Jenner & Block is in search of a detail-oriented, proactive individual for the role of Client Contracts Counsel. This position presents a unique opportunity to become part of a firm that values integrity, professionalism, and a commitment to justice. We foster a collaborative and inclusive environment where all team members—lawyers and support staff alike—are encouraged to think innovatively and act decisively.

The Client Contracts Counsel will play a crucial role in supporting the Office of General Counsel ("OGC") by managing, reviewing, and advising on client engagement contracts, engagement letters, and firm agreements. This role involves close collaboration with partners, clients, and internal teams to ensure compliance with contract terms and client requirements. The Counsel will aid attorneys in understanding and fulfilling their compliance obligations, contributing to the firm's overall success and sustainability.

The ideal candidate will possess a self-driven attitude, a collaborative spirit, strong communication skills, critical thinking abilities, and sound judgment. They should be capable of offering innovative solutions for process enhancements and advancing projects independently with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Maintain, organize, and catalog client and firm engagement terms, including outside counsel guidelines, RFPs, and engagement letters, ensuring easy access to these materials.
  • Review and analyze outside counsel guidelines, RFPs, and engagement letters to identify necessary modifications that align the firm's practices with client requirements. This includes examining provisions related to conflicts of interest, billing practices, confidentiality, and other pertinent clauses. Provide guidance to Firm Counsel and partners on potential issues and propose risk mitigation strategies.
  • Contribute to the creation and implementation of best practices and procedures concerning engagement terms and other essential OGC functions, staying informed about industry trends and technological advancements.
  • Assist in conducting training sessions and providing educational resources to lawyers and staff regarding OGC processes to ensure a uniform approach across the firm.
  • Monitor and report on the progress of OGC processes, including the resolution of outside counsel guidelines, RFPs, and engagement letters, while tracking exceptions and communicating updates to relevant stakeholders.

Additional Responsibilities:

  • Support the OGC in advising Firm Management and attorneys on compliance and risk management issues related to client engagement terms.
  • Respond promptly and professionally to inquiries from various firm departments and clients.
  • Stay informed about the Rules of Professional Conduct, ALAS updates, and relevant laws and regulations, including data protection laws.
  • Identify, document, and implement process improvements for the OGC.
  • Assist administrative staff and attorneys in understanding the firm's conflict and intake procedures.
  • Advise Business Intake and Business Services teams on client contract processes as needed.
  • Participate in reviewing technology enhancements related to outside counsel guidelines processes and assist with implementation as appropriate.
