Have your Biglaw dreams been deferred? Well, here’s a call for associates considering a Year-Long Deferral program. As always, the Job of the Week is brought to you by Lateral Link.

Has your firm offered you a paid leave under a program such as Dewey’s “DL Pursuits” or Shearman’s “External Development Program”? If so, Lateral Link can help you find in-house positions, many of which will supplement the package paid by your firm. Lateral Link has been busy sourcing openings in Fortune 100 companies, media companies, hedge funds and renewable energy for attorneys taking advantage of these programs. To date Lateral Link has placed several attorneys who opted for their firm’s deferral program in positions with major technology companies and a Los Angeles-based real estate company.

For example, a position that Lateral Link is currently assisting with is at a renewable energy
company that is seeking an infrastructure, tax or corporate attorney with 4+ years of experience.
The attorney must be interested in developing expertise in tax equity structures that underlie
renewable energy project development. This company is open to hiring the attorney on permanently at the end of the deferral period.
