Description
Location/Schedule:
Binghamton, New York | Full-Time
Salary Description:
$100,000 - $150,000, commensurate with experience
Practice:
Business & Banking
What Stands Out About This Opportunity:
Coughlin & Gerhart is one of the Southern Tier’s longest standing and most respected law firms, serving clients throughout New York and Pennsylvania since the 1890s. While we’ve grown to eight offices and a wide range of practice areas, we’ve remained grounded in the same philosophy that built the firm: strong client relationships, practical legal guidance and a collaborative team culture.
This opportunity is ideal for an attorney looking to build or continue developing experience in business, corporate & banking law within a firm that values professionalism, mentorship and long-term growth. Our attorneys work closely together across offices and practice groups, creating an environment where collaboration is encouraged and attorneys have the opportunity to take on meaningful work from the beginning.
Attorneys in this role will have direct client interaction and the opportunity to work on a broad range of business, corporate and banking matters, including commercial transactions, financing, entity formation, mergers and acquisitions, creditor rights and general business counseling.
Requirements
Duties and Responsibilities:
Responsibilities include drafting and reviewing a variety of business contracts and advising clients on transactional and general business matters. The attorney will represent lenders and borrowers in financing transactions, assist clients with entity formations, corporate restructuring, business succession planning and mergers and acquisitions.
The role also involves conducting legal research on business and banking matters, including applicable statutes, case law and regulations, and providing practical legal advice to business clients.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong analytical, research, writing and communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to effectively manage multiple matters and deadlines while remaining responsive to client needs. Candidates should be comfortable communicating with clients and colleagues in person, by email and by telephone and should value a collaborative, team-oriented approach to the practice of law.
Core Requirements:
Candidates must possess a Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school and be currently admitted or soon to be admitted to practice in New York State or Pennsylvania. Candidates should have a desire to continue developing their legal skills and building their experience in Business & Banking law.
