MSLG Employment Opportunity Information

Our unique law firm is attracting an increasing number of inquiries from qualified applicants, but unfortunately we cannot hire everyone. To improve our hiring process we have listed the qualifications we desire in our applicants, but will consider other relevant qualities. Job inquires should be sent via email only. Inquiries sent to the wrong e-mail address may delay response time. Our firm welcomes diversity so we seek applicants who are fluent in languages other than English and Japanese. We accept applications year around (except Summer Associate Positions), but please be aware that our needs and available positions may fluctuate. The Human Resources Committee will view and respond to applications.
