Job Description
Endeavor is seeking an assistant to two senior lawyers at Endeavor, a sports, media, and entertainment company. Part of the job will involve supporting VP & Associate GC to the company's client representation business, including the WME talent agency and Endeavor's fashion representation management companies - IMG Models, The Wall Group and Art + Commerce.
The other portion of the role involves supporting the SVP & Associate GC for Endeavor's employment law practice in the Americas, working with all of the businesses under the Endeavor umbrella on employee-related legal matters.

The ideal candidate has graduated from law school, 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 a calendar and tracking projects, preparing and maintaining client files) – but the right candidate also will be able to handle substantive work under the direction of two 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.
