JCW is looking to hire a Senior Counsel at the Associate Director level for a global pharmaceutical manufacturer in the Greater NYC area, joining a small, tight-knit legal team that genuinely likes working together.

 

You’ll partner closely with Business Development, Commercial, Operations, and HR on everything from licensing deals to vendor disputes to employment matters – with a manager who’s invested in developing the team, not just delegating to it. High standards, real collaboration, and a lot of trust once you’re in.

 

What you’ll bring to the table:

  • JD from an ABA-accredited law school and active bar license
  • 5+ years of experience, including 1-3+ years at a law firm
  • Hands-on experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts
  • Prior pharmaceutical or life sciences experience strongly preferred
