Job description

Kohls seeks a detail-oriented Legal Assistant to support our continued growth across Albany and beyond. Earn $63,000 - $94,000, own outcomes, and grow your general career with a team that values 3 years of real experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to process improvements that boost efficiency and reduce waste
• Anticipate the NY compliance wrinkle before it becomes a fire
• Pressure-test assumptions before they harden into expensive mistakes
• Pair Prioritization fluency with the patience to explain it plainly
• Execute core Legal Assistant duties with accuracy and consistency
• Map the handoffs between NY teams so nothing falls in the cracks

What You'll Bring

• The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Hands-on proficiency with Clio, ideally paired with Employment Law
• Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
• The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
• Real proficiency with Family Law, plus willingness to learn Prioritization fast
• Comfort with hybrid arrangements and the rhythms of a refreshingly-candid workplace

For general teams who've been burned before, Kohls is the self-directed Albany, NY partner that finally keeps its promises. Curiosity outranks credentials on this general team, so bring questions, not just answers.

Pair your Prioritization with our $63,000 - $94,000, our mentors, our benefits, and our flexible Albany, NY culture, and the math works in your favor.
