Description:
The Legal Service Fund at A Non-Profit, Public Interest Law Firm is seeking a full-time Attorney to provide critical legal services to its clients who are the backbone of this community: those who work in our hotels and casinos. The Fund was developed through a partnership with the Culinary Union Local 226, Unite Here Bartenders Union Local 165, participating employers, and A Non-Profit, Public Interest Law Firm to help safeguard the legal and economic wellbeing of eligible employees and their families. Assistance is varied and covers eviction and housing related issues, predatory lending avoidance, wills, powers of attorney and healthcare directives, immigration, debt collection, record sealing, and other issues. The entire Legal Service Fund team is available to provide thoughtful mentoring and guidance, but each Staff Attorney leads their own cases with different attorneys offering different expertise on the fields of law.Preferred Experience and Skills:
The ideal candidate is committed to public interest law and community service and has the desire to work with and zealously advocate for our clients. While some litigation experience is helpful, no prior experience is necessary as A Non-Profit, Public Interest Law Firm provides extensive training. The ability to speak Spanish is always beneficial. The candidate must be a licensed attorney in good standing from any United States jurisdiction (Nevada offers special licensing for attorneys relocating to Nevada to provide legal services through A Non-Profit, Public Interest Law Firm.)
