AM Law 200 Firm Honigman LLP seeks an Interdepartmental Staff Attorney (“IDA”) for its industry-setting Professional Attorney Track, a three-tiered non-partnership career trajectory. Honigman is looking for smart, highly motivated, organized self-starters with a commitment to legal excellence and technology adoption to join our Professional Attorney Track’s IDA program. This position is a non-partnership track position, and therefore has no business development obligations. However, the Professional Attorney Track provides multiple opportunities for career advancement for attorneys that have the ambition and skills to work on big-law matters. Honigman is a premier business law firm with offices in Chicago, across Michigan, and in Washington, DC with an international practice. Regularly honored as one of the Best and Brightest Places to Work nationally and regionally, we earned this recognition by hiring the best people and providing them with critical support for professional development and growth, in a great environment with top-tier culture, compensation and benefits. With more than 350 attorneys practicing in 60 different areas of concentration, Honigman prides itself on understanding clients’ businesses and being exceptionally responsive to their business goals and needs. Honigman Interdepartmental Staff Attorneys gain experience in an array of practice areas through assignments from across the Firm’s six departments.

This role in particular will receive assignments from the Matrimonial and Family Law group, among others. The expectation is that, by exploring Honigman’s various practice areas through their assignments, the IDAs will progressively develop a practice focus as they build their careers at the Firm, and this role will include at least a partial focus on Matrimonial and Family Law. IDAs may also participate in secondments with clients as the need arises.
