The posting

O'Hagan Meyer is seeking an experienced law firm professional to serve as Chief of Staff to the Managing Partners. With approximately 425 attorneys located in offices throughout the United States, O'Hagan Meyer has experienced significant growth and is seeking a senior professional who can serve as a trusted advisor and operational extension of the firm's Managing Partners. This is not a traditional administrative position. The Chief of Staff will work directly with the Managing Partners and will be empowered to address, coordinate and resolve a broad range of issues involving the firm's partners, attorneys, offices and clients.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Serve as a primary point of contact between the Managing Partners and attorneys throughout the firm.
  • Review, prioritize and coordinate matters requiring the attention of firm leadership.
  • Make initial contact with attorneys raising management issues, gather relevant facts and determine appropriate next steps.
  • Resolve matters within delegated authority and develop recommendations for issues requiring Managing Partner decisions.
  • Assist with partner and office issues involving origination credit, compensation, staffing, recruiting, client relationships, billing rates and other management matters.
  • Help resolve partner-to-partner and cross-office disputes.
  • Coordinate with the firm's Operations, Finance, Human Resources, Recruiting, Marketing and other administrative functions.
  • Maintain visibility into significant open management matters and ensure appropriate follow-through.
  • Prepare concise weekly or bi-weekly briefings identifying matters requiring Managing Partner decisions, matters under review and matters that have been resolved.
  • Attend selected leadership meetings and ensure that decisions and action items are implemented.
  • Identify recurring issues and recommend policies, procedures and systems to improve the firm's operations.
  • Assist with the integration of new attorneys, practice groups and offices.
  • Undertake confidential and sensitive projects on behalf of the Managing Partners.

Requirements

The successful candidate will have substantial experience working in or with a large, sophisticated law firm and will understand the unique dynamics of law firm partnerships. A J.D. and prior experience practicing law are strongly preferred but not required. Candidates who have transitioned from practicing law into law firm management, operations, business development or another senior administrative role are particularly encouraged to apply.

The ideal candidate will possess:

  • Significant experience in law firm management or administration, preferably within an AmLaw 100 or AmLaw 200 environment.
  • Exceptional judgment, discretion and confidentiality.
  • The ability to work effectively with senior partners and strong personalities.
  • Excellent interpersonal and conflict-resolution skills.
  • The confidence to make decisions and resolve issues without unnecessary escalation.
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to quickly understand complicated personnel, financial and client issues.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • A practical, solutions-oriented approach to management.
  • The ability to distinguish genuinely urgent issues from matters that can be addressed through the firm's normal management process.
  • The organizational ability to manage numerous simultaneous issues across a national law firm.

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental, & Vision)
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary, & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick Leave, & Company Holidays)
  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
  • Short Term & Long-Term Disability
  • Training & Development
  • Work from Home
  • Free Food & Snacks in Office
  • Wellness Resources

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
