What are the responsibilities and job description for the Law Clerk position at Corgi?
Location: Pittsburgh, PA (in-office)
Bulldog Trial Lawyers is a plaintiff-side employment law firm backed by Corgi, which operates the firm's managed services organization (MSO). While our attorneys focus on delivering outstanding legal representation, Corgi handles the technology, operations, recruiting, finance, and infrastructure that keep the firm running.
Our attorneys focus on winning cases. We are looking for a Law Clerk to become an integral part of our litigation team. This isn't a traditional clerkship where you'll spend your time researching obscure legal issues. You'll work directly with attorneys on active plaintiff-side employment cases, taking ownership of everything from legal research and drafting to client communication and litigation support.
We hire people who want responsibility early. You'll have the opportunity to touch nearly every part of a case while learning how successful employment litigators build and win lawsuits.
If you're the type of person who wants to do everything, learn quickly, and become an exceptional lawyer, we'd love to meet you.
