The Wylie Agency is seeking a highly-motivated junior attorney to join the contracts and business affairs team in its New York office.
The primary responsibilities of the role are reviewing, drafting and negotiating a variety of agreements on behalf of the agency's clients, such as magazine article and contributor agreements, book publishing agreements, collaboration agreements, and literary rights option purchase agreements, along with other unique issues arising from the work of the creative authors and artists the agency represents.
The successful candidate will possess excellent communication, drafting, and writing skills as well as ability to problem solve in an efficient manner and the ability to complete high volumes of tasks and projects quickly with minimal supervision. The candidate will also be highly organized with great attention to detail and the demonstrated ability to liaise with clients and to work effectively and collaboratively within the contracts team and with agents and the accounting team. As the contracts team is an essential department within a small agency, the responsibilities of all members of the team range from advising on high-level deal points and boilerplate negotiations to ensuring an efficient and effective contract administrative and document management process, so a willingness to perform both large and small tasks is required.
The ideal applicant has familiarity with and enthusiasm for the authors we represent. This position offers the opportunity to engage in meaningful, interesting work and client interaction while maintaining a reasonable work-life balance.
