Job description

McNicholas & McNicholas LLP, a California trial firm representing a very large number of wildfire victims, is looking to hire 2 law clerks. The position is partly remote, so good internet and computer access will be necessary. Successful applicants need to be ready to begin training ASAP. Training is typically more of a shadowing experience as we have found this best prepares the clerks to go off on their own (although we have a large team readily available to assist even after you are more than capable of handling your own caseload). Clerks will be part of the firm's Dixie Wild Fire Demand Team. The job will entail interviewing people on the phone who were victims of the California wildfires and have brought claims against a public utility company from start (gathering information) to finish (claims resolution/payment). Many of the victims have lost all their possessions, and in many cases, their homes. Each clerk will be assigned primary responsibility for working personally and at a distance with dozens of claimants to obtain the information needed for developing their demand packages and filing their claims. There are various other discrete tasks that arise which the overall team will work to resolve every now and then, such as minor’s compromise packages or case accounting sheets. After training, clerks will interview claimants, prepare detailed descriptions following the standards set out in the process, and obtain appropriate evidence to support the claims. The clerks will prepare the demands and be involved in the mediation process as well. We've had a significant number of clerks prepare demands that have resolved in the 6-figure and even 7-figure range. Thus far, the highest resolution a clerk has been intimately involved in was $33,000,000.00.

Qualifications: Superior communication skills and a high level of interviewing sensitivity are required. Must be able to hear facts and analyze using the law you learn mid-conversation, hardworking, and have the ability to produce top quality work under modest supervision. Clerks must further not be afraid to ask many questions until they are fully up to speed.
