    Description

    The Position

    The National Women's Law Center (NWLC) seeks an Associate General Counsel to assist the Deputy General Counsel (DGC) and the General Counsel (GC) in advising the organization and its affiliated entities on all legal, compliance, and risk management matters; analyzing and managing legal and reputational risk; and ensuring that the practices, policies and operations of the organization and its affiliates meet all legal and regulatory requirements wherever NWLC and its affiliates operate, engaging outside counsel as needed. The Associate GC will have their own portfolio to lead, as detailed below. Housed in the Office of the President & CEO, the Associate General Counsel will report directly to the DGC and will work closely with the GC, other members of the Office of the President & CEO, and staff across the organization to coordinate on matters and fulfill their responsibilities. This is a full-time exempt position of 37.5 hours per week. The Organization The National Women's Law Center fights for gender justice—in the courts, in public policy, and in our society—working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls. We use the law in all its forms to change culture and drive solutions to the gender inequity that shapes our society and to break down the barriers that harm all of us—especially women of color, LGBTQ people, and low-income women and families. The National Women's Law Center Action Fund is a 501(c)4 affiliate of NWLC, aiming to drive progressive change in our policies and laws so that all women and girls can live, learn, and work with safety, dignity, and equality. Other affiliates include the National Women's Fund LLC, which houses and administers the Legal Network for Gender Equity and the TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund, and Abortion Access Legal Defense Fund LLC, which houses the Abortion Access LDF. For over 50 years, we have been on the leading edge of every major legal and policy victory for women, and we need you with us to continue this fight. Responsibilities
    • Serve as a strategic thought partner to the Deputy GC and GC;
    • Help identify and assess legal and business risks to the organization, focusing on creative problem solving;
    • Serve as the GC Office liaison for specific teams, including Development and Campaigns & Communications;
    • Assist with the NWLC contract review and approval process, including reviewing and negotiating contracts such as services agreements, vendor agreements, licenses, memoranda of understanding and other types of transactions;

    • Assist in developing, delivering, and providing training and advice on a range of policies and issues, such as legal issues involving trademarks, copyright, social media, and IP-related compliance;
    • Manage federal and nationwide compliance deadlines, preparing and filing applications and reports as needed, including the preparation of state and federal lobbying reports, commercial co-venture or charitable sales promotion notifications;
    • Help identify and evaluate emerging legal issues for the organization and its affiliates, proactively seeking out and staying current on relevant legal developments;
    • Manage outside counsel as needed;
    • Perform other duties as assigned.
    Qualifications A candidate must possess:
    • A law degree and admission to a state bar with ability to waive into the DC Bar if not already admitted;
    • A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience;
    • Familiarity with the various legal and compliance issues facing U.S. nonprofit organizations;
    • Experience negotiating contracts, including ability to assess and articulate appropriate risk/reward analyses, with strong negotiation and dispute resolution skills;
    • Demonstrated initiative and judgement, including ability to proactively identify and address issues and make recommendations on difficult and sensitive issues;
    • Excellent research, analytical, oral and written communication skills;
    • Demonstrated ability to exercise good judgment, problem solve, and perform well independently with a creative, solutions-oriented approach;
    • Outstanding time management and organizational skills, with careful attention to detail and accountability for meeting deliverables and deadlines in a fast-paced, multi-tasking environment;
    • Demonstrated commitment to working on gender and racial equity and centering LGBTQI communities and communities of color in the approach to work; and
