New York Law School (NYLS) invites applications for a faculty position as Director of our Nonprofit and Small Business Clinic. Students in this yearlong clinic provide transactional legal assistance to nonprofit organizations and small businesses. Under close faculty supervision, students interview and counsel clients; plan and strategize

on matters; research relevant questions of law; draft correspondence, memos, and legal documents; manage client relationships; and negotiate agreements. Students take primary responsibility for working with multiple clients on a variety of matters such as entity formation, governance, contracts, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance.

Clients range from startups to more mature entities. Clients generally come from or represent low-income communities and are unable to afford market rates for legal services. This clinic helps prepare students for work with organizational clients and introduces students to opportunities for transactional lawyers to further economic,

environmental, racial, and social justice.While we are seeking an applicant to join our long-term contract track faculty, this position could be structured as a one-year visiting position or a short-term contract position as a Professor from Practice. The selected candidate
