The SWH team is a tightly-knit community of lawyers, all committed to using the law to help craft and enforce a more just society. The academic credentials, passion, and expertise of our lawyers are unparalleled, and we cultivate our team carefully.
We do not hire on a regular basis, but consider both lateral and entry-level attorneys from time to time. Our commitment to the enforcement of equal opportunity laws is reflected in our hiring practices, and we value diversity within our team. As a result, we strongly encourage minority candidates to apply for open positions.
SWH is currently accepting applications for an entry-level associate for our NY Office.
We are looking to hire a candidate with academic credentials and a demonstrated dedication to social justice causes that mirrors that of our existing team. Our ideal candidate will be a recent graduate with no more than two years out of law school. Preferred work experience is either a federal clerkship or a public interest fellowship. Ideal applicants will have had clinical experience during their law school career.
All applicants should submit a cover letter, resume, unofficial transcript, list of references and two writing samples to careers@swhlegal.com with the subject heading “2011 NY Associate Application.” All materials should be submitted in .doc or .pdf form. Failure to conform to these guidelines may result in your application being discarded. Consideration takes place on a rolling basis, so early application is encouraged.
