Kobre & Kim consistently seeks exceptional candidates with the talent to deliver outstanding service that anticipates client needs.
Position Details...
Kobre & Kim is looking for an experienced lawyer to join our New York office in our Government Enforcement Defense practice. You will focus on internal investigations and enforcement cases and expand our international footprint. Our regulatory/white-collar practice focuses on trial advocacy and international disputes, particularly those involving asset forfeiture/confiscation; commodities futures market manipulation and spoofing; and allegations of bribery/FCPA violations.
We have extensive experience aggressively defending clients in high-profile government investigations and disputes, especially those involving fraud or misconduct. Our criminal and regulatory practice is primarily cross-border, often involving simultaneous investigations by law enforcement authorities in several countries.
Requirements
• 7+ years of experience including significant time working for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) or Eastern District of New York (EDNY)
• Admission to the New York State Bar
• Robust business development, legal, leadership and firm management skills
Why Join Kobre & Kim?
Kobre & Kim focuses solely on disputes and investigations. Our lawyers collaborate on cross-border teams that handle matters involving criminal defense and regulatory enforcement; internal investigations; civil and commercial litigation; class actions; judgment enforcement and asset recovery; and financial products and services disputes.
Being part of our team will give you experience unrivaled in the world of premium high-stakes litigation. We recognize that our greatest asset is our people, so we want the best and the brightest to find and fulfill their true potential with us. We are looking for a new breed of litigators who combine substantive legal skills, problem-solving capabilities, intellectual rigor, determination, and a global outlook, with the creativity and people skills to have a real impact on the delivery of our innovative legal solutions. Our lawyers bring their formidable skills and experience to think one step ahead, to address the client’s entire problem and not just the legal aspects. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, honed to appeal to businesspeople and courts alike, we strike the perfect balance between civility and intellectual aggressiveness to generate unconventional legal strategies that deal with clients’ real problems.
We admit that our way of working is not for everyone – but for the most talented people who share our vision and values and have a genuine passion to work on the litigation products we deliver, there really is no better place to be. If the idea of taking an aggressive and creative approach to law in order to understand and resolve our clients’ challenges excites you, you’ll fit right in. It's our strategic approach to delivering clients their ultimate outcome that sets us apart as much as our expertise. We are passionate about using the law as a tool to solve our clients’ most complex issues, and by using our genuine intellectual curiosity, we excel at finding new ways to attack a problem beyond conventional lawyering.
Our unmatched global footprint gives us access to the most interesting markets, the most prominent clients and the most exciting cases. As Latin America, the Middle East and China present new opportunities and challenges for our clients, we make it our business to be there to help deliver innovative solutions and push boundaries. Global capabilities are not simply about having offices in all the right places; it is the ability to seamlessly deploy exactly the right mix of people to meet the specific needs of a particular client, irrespective of location. This gives our people a richness of experience and opportunity that is genuinely unique.
Of course, having a global firm means embracing a global culture: To work smoothly across jurisdictions, markets and sectors, our teams are continuously developing their knowledge of new legal systems and cultures. Wherever our lawyers are based or travel to, they make things happen, setting new standards and pushing boundaries to deliver innovative and often ground-breaking cross-border solutions. Doing so takes passion, dedication and a good deal of both personal and professional flexibility, but the rewards are immense. A friendly and supportive working environment is a key component of our business strategy, allowing us to create teams that can take on the world’s most complex litigation.
We pull together the right mix of people and know-how for any situation. It is the depth, flexibility and rich diversity of expertise in our firm that makes us such a unique and critical resource for our clients.
Working at Kobre & Kim will give you an enviable set of career choices. We know that if we help brilliant people reach their goals, it will benefit us in both the short and long term. We are proud to have many ex-colleagues among our clients, and our alumni can be found in leadership roles in many fields of commerce, government and the judiciary.
In return for your dedication, we will offer you excellent rewards, unlimited support, unrivaled training and the chance to add value from day one in a non-hierarchical environment. We are a true meritocracy and our bespoke bonus calculation system rewards those who bring the most benefit to the firm: Rather than focusing on the simple surpassing of target working hours, we reward those who excel in business development, bring unique ideas and skills to the table and develop client relationships for the benefit of the firm and not just themselves.
Learning – constant career evolution
It’s absolutely essential to our business that we provide the very best training and development for our lawyers; after all, the litigation products we offer are cutting edge, and that means constant evolution. We expect all our lawyers to keep a constant focus on deepening their learning and personal specialization within our product areas. The world is constantly changing and each generation of lawyers needs to learn new skills and apply new modes of thinking. We like to work ahead of the pack on unique legal challenges that aren’t commoditized by other law firms, so our lawyers evolve much more frequently than others. This makes our work exhilarating, but it demands a dynamic approach to learning and development.
Diversity
Diversity and inclusion are a core part of our values and we genuinely value differences in backgrounds, experiences and cultures for the benefit it brings to the firm and our clients. The reason is simple. We will only continue to build on our outstanding success by creating a culture that allows everyone to thrive, generating the best ideas and solutions for our clients. The resourcefulness and ingenuity needed to create these ideas and solutions are assured by hiring lawyers with the widest breadth of knowledge, skills, perspectives and talent.
Our application process
Applying and interviewing with a new firm can be daunting and time-consuming. We do everything we can to make applying to Kobre & Kim feel quite the opposite. There are no tricks, shortcuts or pitfalls. We read every resume with great care and we work hard to make the right decisions at each stage. You’ll get more out of the process if you come to it with a good understanding of the firm, the work we do, the legal products we specialize in and a clear idea of what you want from your professional career.

You want to make sure you’ll be happy and successful at Kobre & Kim. So do we.
At the time of posting, the salary range for this role is US $365,000 – US $500,000. This range is based on a full-time work schedule. Other compensation may include an annual discretionary bonus.

Overview
The Bronx Defenders an innovative, progressive, holistic indigent defense office in the South Bronx seeks a passionate, experienced attorney with a commitment to public defense to join our Criminal Defense Practice...
The Bronx Defenders is a public defender non-profit that is radically transforming how low-income people in the Bronx are represented in the legal system, and, in doing so, is transforming the system itself. BxD seeks thoughtful, creative, energetic individuals with a strong commitment to social justice to join our dynamic and diverse staff. Our staff of over 500 includes interdisciplinary teams made up of criminal, civil, immigration, and family defense attorneys, as well as social workers, benefits specialists, legal advocates, parent advocates, investigators, and team administrators, who collaborate to provide holistic advocacy to address the causes and consequences of legal system involvement. Through this integrated team-based structure, we have developed a groundbreaking, nationally-recognized model of representation called holistic defense that achieves better outcomes for the people we defend.
Each year, we defend more than 20,000 low-income Bronx residents in criminal, civil, child welfare, and immigration cases, and reach thousands more through our community intake, youth mentoring, and outreach programs. Through impact litigation, policy advocacy, and community organizing, we push for systemic change at the local, state, and national levels. We take what we learn from the people we defend and communities that we work with and launch innovative initiatives designed to bring about real and lasting change.
The Criminal Defense Practice
The Criminal Defense Practice (CDP) at The Bronx Defenders consists of over 150 attorneys, investigators, social workers, practice associates, and administrators who provide comprehensive criminal defense representation to people in the Bronx facing police and criminal legal system involvement. Through a client-centered approach, our CDP legal teams strive to gain a deeper understanding of the circumstances and priorities of the people we represent. Armed with that understanding, they fight for desired outcomes by strategically raising personalized, persuasive arguments in mitigation, negotiations, and litigation.
Responsibilities
• Engage in intensive client interviewing, counseling, research, writing, oral advocacy and negotiations as part of legal representation
• Zealously advocate for individuals charged with misdemeanor and felony offenses in Bronx Criminal Court from the time of arraignment through disposition or trial, as well as concurrent proceedings such as Department of Motor Vehicle refusal hearings
• Provide comprehensive, team-based representation collaborating with an interdisciplinary team of attorneys and advocates to avoid or mitigate any further legal system involvement or civil consequences that may arise out of contact with the criminal legal system
• Effectively litigate, confidently negotiate and skillfully advocate for the people we represent with judges, prosecutors, and other actors within the systems our clients are navigating
