Job Overview
We are seeking an experienced Supporting Attorney to join our team in Noida, India,
and assist with U.S. law matters. The ideal candidate will be an Indian-qualified lawyer
with substantial exposure to U.S. law (with a strong preference for experience in
Washington State law). This role involves providing comprehensive legal support in
areas of healthcare law, captive insurance compliance, and intellectual property
(trademark) issues. You will work closely (remotely) with a U.S.-based attorney,
conducting legal research, managing discovery materials, and coordinating on cases
and compliance projects. This position requires excellent English communication skills
for seamless coordination with our U.S. legal team.
Key Responsibilities
- Discovery Support: Assist with the discovery process for U.S. litigation cases – organize, index, and summarize discovery materials (including electronic documents and correspondence) to ensure our legal team can quickly access key information. Help maintain a well-structured repository of evidence and legal documents for ongoing cases.
- Healthcare Law & HIPAA Compliance: Provide support on healthcare law matters, with emphasis on HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance. Ensure that all handling of Protected Health Information (PHI) and related legal documents meets HIPAA privacy and security requirements. Assist in drafting and reviewing policies or agreements for compliance with healthcare regulations.
- Captive Insurance Compliance: Support the compliance management for a U.S.-based captive insurance company. This includes monitoring regulatory requirements, helping prepare filings or reports to U.S. insurance regulators, and maintaining documentation to ensure the captive insurance entity meets all applicable state and federal compliance standards.
- Intellectual Property (Trademark) Assistance: Manage and assist with U.S. trademark matters. This involves preparing trademark related filings for the USPTO, maintaining a docket of filing deadlines, and organizing the company’s trademark portfolio. You will also help monitor potential trademark infringements and support attorneys in trademark infringement litigation by gathering evidence, researching precedents, and coordinating with U.S. IP counsel.
- Remote Coordination: Act as a reliable point of contact for the U.S.-based attorney and legal team. Coordinate across time zones to align on project timelines, case updates, and deliverables. Participate in regular calls or video conferences to discuss case strategy, report on progress, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Maintain clear and prompt communication via email and collaboration tools, demonstrating excellent English communication skills in all interactions.
Qualifications and Experience
- Education & License: Bachelor’s degree in Law (LL.B.) from an accredited institution. Licensed to practice law in India and in good standing with the Bar Council. A Master’s in Law (LL.M.) or any U.S. law certification is a plus.
- Legal Experience: Minimum 5 years of post-qualification legal experience. This should include significant exposure to U.S. legal matters or working with U.S. clients. Prior experience in an international law firm, Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO), or supporting U.S. attorneys is highly desirable.
- U.S. Law Knowledge: Strong knowledge of U.S. law and legal procedures. Familiarity with Washington State law is highly preferred, as many matters will pertain to Washington regulations or courts. Ability to quickly research and understand state-specific statutes (especially Washington’s) is important.
- Healthcare Law & HIPAA: Proven experience or training in healthcare law, with a focus on HIPAA compliance. Comfortable interpreting and applying HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules in policies, agreements, and incident responses. Experience dealing with patient data privacy, healthcare regulations, or hospital/clinical legal matters will be an advantage.
- Insurance Compliance: Experience supporting legal or compliance functions for an insurance company, ideally a captive insurance entity or similar. Knowledge of insurance regulatory frameworks in the U.S., state insurance commission requirements, and corporate governance for insurance companies is a plus.
- Intellectual Property: Solid background in intellectual property law, especially trademark law. Experience with trademark registration processes, responding to USPTO actions, and trademark infringement litigation support (e.g. evidence collection, coordinating with investigators, or preparing case chronologies). Familiarity with managing a portfolio of trademarks or working with IP management software is beneficial.
- Research & Discovery Skills: Exceptional legal research skills, with proficiency in using legal research tools/databases for U.S. law. Hands-on experience with organizing and reviewing discovery materials or large document sets for litigation. Ability to summarize findings clearly and manage documentation with attention to detail.
- Communication & Coordination: Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal) are mandatory. Proven ability to draft polished legal documents, reports, and professional correspondence. Comfortable collaborating remotely with U.S. colleagues – this includes being proactive in communications, culturally aware, and adept at using video conferencing and project management tools.
- Organizational Skills: Strong organizational and project management abilities. Capable of juggling multiple tasks and deadlines, prioritizing work effectively, and maintaining meticulous records. A high level of professionalism, integrity, and reliability is expected, given the sensitive nature of legal work.
- Teamwork; Adaptability: A collaborative mindset to work as part of an international team. Flexible and adaptable to shifting priorities or urgent requests. Able to work independently with minimal supervision while knowing when to seek guidance or clarification from the U.S. attorney.
Role Expectations
In this role, you are expected to function as an extension of the U.S. legal team. You will not be providing independent legal advice to clients in the U.S.; instead, you will support a licensed U.S. attorney by performing critical background work, research, and preparatory analysis. Attention to detail, confidentiality, and a proactive approach to problem-solving are key expectations. The role may occasionally require adjusting your work hours to overlap with U.S. business hours for real-time collaboration. By excelling in this position, you will contribute significantly to the efficiency of our legal operations and help ensure compliance and successful outcomes in complex legal matters spanning healthcare, insurance, and intellectual property domains.
