WME Group is seeking an assistant to three senior lawyers at WME Group, a sports, media, and entertainment company. Part of the job will involve supporting three executives: SVP & Associate GC to the company’s client representation business, VP & Counsel executive of our Fashion division, and the SVP & Deputy GC heading WME Group's global employment law practice. Though this is an assistant-level position, there will be opportunity for the right candidate to engage in meaningful work relating to talent endorsement agreements, talent regulatory matters, employment disputes, and employment agreements. The ideal candidate has an interest in law, a strong legal acumen, some familiarity with talent contracts or employment and an insatiable desire to learn more. Deals you will be assisting with include talent agreements, employment agreements, and employment policies.
The job entails basic administrative assistant work (rolling calls, maintaining calendars, tracking projects, and preparing and maintaining client files) – but the right candidate also will be able to handle substantive work under the direction of three executives. Exact scope of responsibility will depend on the candidate’s demonstrated capabilities. This is a unique opportunity for anyone interested in learning about business affairs at a major agency.
